Challenges in Child-Friendly Interviews

Child-friendly interviews place special demands on technology, law, and organization.

Psychological Burden

Traumatization through repeated interviews, confrontation with defendants, and intimidating courtroom atmosphere place additional burden on children.

Legal Requirements

Expedited proceedings for minors, mandatory video recording requirements, and avoidance of repeated questioning.

Technical Deficits

Inadequate technical equipment at courts, lack of child-friendly interview rooms, and no standardized procedures.

Evidence Quality

Written protocols are subjectively filtered, loss of non-verbal communication, and impaired credibility assessment.

Child Welfare Protection

High-quality audiovisual recordings protect children from repeated interviews and stressful situations.

Avoid Repeated Interviews

High-quality audiovisual recordings can be used in court proceedings – without requiring the child to testify again.

Protected Interview Environment

Child-friendly rooms with separate entrances, no confrontation with defendants through video transmission to other rooms.

Reduced Burden

Interview recordings replace stressful testimony in courtrooms. Children do not have to describe traumatic experiences multiple times.

Legal Compliance & Security

Legally compliant documentation for court-admissible recordings.

Legally Compliant Documentation

Automatic capture of case numbers, date, time, location, and timecode meets all legal requirements for court-admissible recordings.

Authenticity Verification

Real-time checksum generation and certified encryption prevent tampering and ensure evidential value.

Proof of Proper Conduct

Complete recording protects all parties through seamless documentation of proper procedures including documented breaks.

Optimal Evidence Quality

Complete reality capture for authentic statement assessment.

Complete Reality Capture

Unlike subjectively filtered written protocols, video recording objectively captures facial expressions, gestures, tone of voice, and the entire interview process.

Courts and experts can authentically follow non-verbal communication and interview situations – essential for credibility assessments.
