Tender: Serious Fraud Office Investigator Training Programme – Criminal and Financial Investigation and Interviewing Skills

About

The Serious Fraud Office is seeking a supplier for a bespoke Investigator Training Programme to equip SFO personnel with the core skills to effectively conduct investigations using the SFO’s statutory powers (including the Criminal Justice Act 1987, Section 2, and the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002). The programme will cover the theory and process behind conducting an investigation, interviewing witnesses and victims, and interviewing suspects, and is aimed at investigators involved in criminal financial investigations as well as civil recovery and confiscation work, ranging from new entrant and trainee investigators to experienced and senior investigators, investigative lawyers and financial investigators. Successful learners will gain increased confidence in the investigative theory and process used by the SFO, adopting a strategic and methodical investigative mindset, understanding their role and responsibilities, investigative decision making and risk management, exercising SFO powers throughout investigations, and interviewing, taking and structuring statements from witnesses, victims and suspects. Course content will be split into modules of up to three days each, combining theory with interactive engagement and regular opportunities to practice the skills taught.
