CACET Global provide a specialist child protection and
exploitation investigator’s training course
to increase the scope for the proper protection, safety
and security of abused children, especially sexually
abused children. The course seeks to review and enhance
the investigator’s existing investigative skills,
to provide and suggest new investigative ideas and
evidence gathering techniques as well as passing on
reality based information such as internet and ritualistic
child abuse, child sex tourism and investigating organised
paedophile groups/child prostitution rings.
The course provides both victim and offender interviewing
techniques, enhances the investigator’s knowledge
of what additional evidence to search for and provide
specialised skills and tactics that will assist in
a higher conviction rate of offenders or success in
civil actions.
CACET Global believes that the safety and protection
of children must be placed on an equal footing to
the traditional police focus and emphasis given to
drugs,
homicide, armed robbery and fraud investigations.
CACET Global will, where requested and wherever
possible,
research all local legislation and procedures to
enhance the investigator’s knowledge of the particular
country’s offences against children and any local/regional
instructions on interviewing and protecting children.
CACET Global currently has a specialised and unique,
Australasia/Pacific region investigator program including
theoretical and practical exercises.
Some countries are now introducing modern, child
protection and abuse legislation. This legislation
is only of
benefit if local law enforcement agencies are able
to properly implement and utilise the laws as well
as lawfully obtaining the evidence for use in the
criminal or civil courts.
It is the object of
the CACET Global investigator’s
training program to:
| · |
Create
professionalism and awareness to train, equip and
protect those investigators who may work directly
with youth and child victims and offenders |
| · |
To
ensure child abuse investigators are fully equipped
to identify, respond to, manage, investigate and
lawfully obtain crucial evidence in complex and
often disturbing cases of child assault and maltreatment
with particular emphasis on sexual abuse and exploitation
in a totally professional and objective manner |
| · |
To
ensure victims and witnesses are treated with dignity
and professionalism |
| · |
To
create an awareness and understanding of the dynamics
of child abuse (in particular sexual abuse) including
paedophilia |
| · |
Ensure
the lawful interview of suspects and offenders |
| · |
To
encourage inter-agency networking between government
and non-government organisations (NGO’s) agencies to protect
and assist children in a partnership approach and
ensure follow up treatment/counselling referrals
are made to victims and their families |

Why?
| · |
Because
it is easier to protect and mould children than
to fix adults |
| · |
Because
individuals and employing bodies, especially
police and other law enforcement agencies are
being sued and publicly condemned for failing
to respond appropriately to suspicions and disclosures
of child abuse |
| · |
Because
investigators are often untrained in the dynamics
of child abuse and sexual exploitation and miss
valuable evidence |
