This podcast considers interviews with children over alleged sexual abuse, and the "Achieving Best Evidence" guidelines. It asks whether the guidelines are up to date, whether they are appropriate for getting the best evidence from a child, and whether they are followed in practice. Brenda Robinson uses her extensive research of analysing over 140 ABE interviews to answer these questions.
