These guidelines are an update of the 2012 series of APSAC Practice Guidelines, titled Interviewing in Cases of Suspected Child Abuse. They reflect current knowledge about best practices related to forensic interviews and should be considered in conjunction with the 2018 APSAC Handbook on Child Maltreatment, 4th Edition (see especially Chapter 19, “When Interviewing Children: A Review and Update” by Saywitz et al.). They are aspirational and intended to encourage the highest level of interview proficiency, offering direction for training professionals who conduct child forensic interviews. These guidelines are not intended to establish a legal standard of care or a rigid standard of practice to which professionals are expected to adhere in all cases. They provide a framework for professionals who conduct forensic interviews and are not an all-inclusive guide. Published 2023.
