This webinar will discuss the Southern Regional Children's Advocacy Center's new resource "Navigating Peer Review Initiatives in Forensic Interviewing: A Comprehensive Exploration." Peer review plays a critical role in developing and maintaining high-quality forensic interviews—yet Children's Advocacy Centers often face uncertainty around how to structure these efforts effectively.

"Navigating Peer Review Initiatives in Forensic Interviewing: A Comprehensive Exploration" examines current practices, challenges, and opportunities within the field. Whether you're launching a new initiative or enhancing an existing one, this paper offers valuable insights to inform more intentional and effective peer review experiences.

This comprehensive exploration draws on national field analysis, focus groups, and a review of literature to highlight key components of successful peer review. Themes and recommendations are organized across four core areas:

  • Purpose & Orientation
  • Facilitation
  • Participation
  • Structure
