The resources have received formal approval or accreditation outwith the SSSC and the Scottish Government has commissioned and signed off national programmes. The page identifies, promotes and signposts the workforce to the resources we have endorsed to support their CPL.
Including them gives recognition to training and learning that supports the workforce to gain the specialist skills and knowledge required to carry out particular functions and approaches to practice for people working in early years, social care and social work.
The SSSC endorses their content although we cannot be accountable for delivery.
We will review all programmes we have endorsed within a two year period to ensure any changes are reflected and updated accordingly.
The National Joint Investigative Interviewing Training Programme is designed to equip learners with the specialist knowledge and skill required to conduct forensic interviewing of children.
The Scottish Child Interview Model for joint investigative interviewing is a new model of practice designed to be trauma-informed, keep the child’s needs and rights at the centre, and capture best evidence through improved planning and interviewing techniques.
Joint investigative interviews (JIIs) are forensic interviews with children and, within the new model of practice these interviews are conducted using an evidence-based interview protocol called the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) model of interviewing.
