Cognitive interviewing is a forensic tool that uses a series of memory retrieval techniques designed to increase the amount of information that can be obtained from a witness or client by using key principles of how people best recall information. Litigation lawyers in some of the biggest law firms in the UK use this structured technique to create the maximum opportunity for witnesses to remember exactly what happened. It is much more effective than simply asking your witness questions, which typically interrupts them and restricts the natural flow of information. Using cognitive interviewing will increase the completeness and accuracy of what your witnesses can remember, helping them to remember clearly things that happened many months, or even many years, ago. It will enable you to: • Be in a stronger position to assess litigation risks and make decisions about a case • Prepare cases and take statements based on the full facts from your witnesses • Obtain up to 40% more relevant information • Obtain uncontaminated evidence from witnesses • Obtain more facts and details from witnesses first time, so that you reduce the need for costly re-interviews and comply with the Woolf protocols for statements Speaker: Dave Barney, specialises in training lawyers in interviewing and investigating techniques. He has trained over 3000 lawyers in the last 15 years and has worked with all of the top 10 UK law firms.

Dismissing an employee because they are ill is often a very difficult decision for an employer to make, and also a difficult decision for an employee to consider as being reasonable. As a consequence, both parties often feel that the outcome is unsatisfactory. This course will look at the issues from both the employers’ and employees’ perspective. It will cover both the question of how an employer should deal with both short term but persistent absence due to ill health, and also long term absences and the effect of the Disability Discrimination Act. It will also look at the difficult issues surrounding ill health relating to maternity. The course will look at various scenarios and will encourage everyone to participate.
