Abstract: This paper aims to inform practitioners and service managers \nof what is considered best practice in conducting investigative \ninterviews for allegations of child sexual abuse (CSA). At \npresent, research is at an early stage of identifying what \nconstitutes best practice and, as a result, research evidence is \nin some cases preliminary (Jones, Cross, Walsh, & Simone, \n2005). This article will first address the interview itself, and then \nother issues secondary to the interviewing process such as \npresence/absence of a supportive person, use of dolls and \nhuman figure drawings, video recording, access to medical \nand mental health interventions, victim advocacy support \nprogrammes, and interdisciplinary team investigations.
