This workshop is a hands-on comprehensive course that helps participants develop and refine skills related to writing investigation reports pursuant with federal law and in accordance with best practice.  Participants learn the elements and structure of investigation reports and gain insights into effectively organizing evidence and writing thorough yet concise reports that demonstrate neutrality and are written to be easily understood by all relevant parties. Participants gain insight into report writing mechanics, as well as hands-on experience in reviewing evidence from a mock hearing and creating a report under the guidance of an expert.

During the lecture portion of the training, the facilitator focuses on report writing mechanics, structure of a report, organization of the evidence, and writing for clarity, accuracy, and neutrality in a concise manner. Attendees learn how to appropriately represent procedural steps taken where such steps are relevant to the decision maker’s final determination. Following this session, participants receive mock evidence to utilize during the following session.

During the workshop portion of this training, attendees assemble the investigation record and create a comprehensive outline of the investigation report.  This session is highly interactive and hands on.
