This is a one-day course that introduces participants to the legal concept of credibility and the practice of assessing credibility in workplace investigations.
Credibility is a tricky concept. There are general legal principles we use to govern how we assess credibility but believing one person over another can often feel like a coin-toss. Or you might believe one person over another based on a “gut feeling” that may be affected by unconscious bias. Even though assessing credibility is a challenging task, it is something that investigators must do in almost every investigation. Mistakes in how investigators come to conclusions about credibility may risk the investigation finding being overturned or may lead to a decision that the investigation itself was inadequate.
In this course we will help you understand what credibility means and get you comfortable with assessing credibility in a way that is legally defensible. Here’s what you’ll learn how to do:
- Identify the fundamental elements the legal concept of credibility
- Recognize the distinction between “the truth” and making findings of fact
- Ask questions to help you assess a participant’s credibility
- Determine when a credibility assessment is and is not necessary
- Understand the harm that accompanies a declaration that someone is not credible
- Review legal cases involving credibility assessments in investigations
- Draft meaningful and defensible credibility assessments in investigation reports
