What is a remote forensic interview?

A Remote Forensic Interview is a structured conversation with a child, adolescent, or vulnerable adult conducted through secure video conferencing technology rather than in person. These interviews are typically used in cases of suspected abuse, neglect, or witness testimony, allowing professionals to gather accurate information while minimizing trauma. Remote forensic interviews follow strict protocols to ensure the safety, privacy, and comfort of the interviewee, and are often used when in-person interviews are not possible due to distance or health concerns.
