Giving those impacted by trauma a voice through uniting forensic interview research and practice
The Forensic Interview Research and Education (FIRE) Program allows all individuals impacted by trauma a voice and opportunity to be heard in forensic contexts. We accomplish this by educating professionals, supporting effective legal processes, and uniting research and practice to promote evidenced based techniques in forensic interviews.
FIRE was founded to support communities of practice who conduct and utilize interviews with alleged victims for a range of legal and forensic contexts (both criminal and civil) including but not limited to disciplines in an investigatory role such as Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) members in law enforcement, legal, medical, education, adult and child protection.
