I was completely destroyed, but I have learned a lot and there is so much to reflect upon. I did not know how to handle when sensitive information would be raised. I would suggest that some of us have no experience in court, and that we do not know how to even answer simple questions, or the majority of court etiquette - this makes the exercise doubly hard.
Good. I was pleased with the feedback I got from others on the course. I would like the team to have annual training in one aspect of investigation each year
• I thoroughly enjoyed the two days of training and felt it would have benefitted from being extended to three days, to allow more time for worked, practical examples. • The trainer was extremely knowledgeable and approachable, which helped put me at ease—particularly as this is a completely new area of work that I will be taking on on a voluntary basis. • As a result of the training, I feel confident that I would be able to undertake an internal investigation if asked to do so. • I intend to explore further training opportunities via the Bond website to continue developing my skills. • I look forward to undertaking further training with Bond in the future.
Good overview of what is expected in an expert witness report
Good nice to have the perspective from the prosecution/defence side of what is expected.
Was not quite as specific to the role of FCI as I had thought it would be and was quite generalised.
A very useful and insightful course which was delivered at a suitable pace and level.
The role play is great and I do recommend it. However, it would be better to know who you are going to be, perhaps the day before, so that you can prepare for your role play. In a real situation you would at least know who you are - it is very difficult to role play on the hoof when you are not that person and do not thoroughly know your witness statement. So not sure why we weren't given that opportunity... Other than that the course was great :)
