Guidance for Interviewing Children

1. Please provide a copy of children’s social services guidance/requirements for interviewing children

2. Please send guidance on how the parents of the children should be informed regarding any interviews

For both questions, please refer to the Family Procedures Manual, government guidance and ministry of justice guidance.

3. In relation to Q2, are there different rules for the parent who receives the child benefit, and is therefore the main carer?

Devon County Council do not hold this information as there is no guidance relating to the carer who receives the child benefit.
