About the role
An investigation assistant helps investigators organise evidence, check timelines, take accurate notes and prepare case material. The panel is looking for impartiality, attention to detail, careful questioning and respect for confidentiality. Good answers explain a method that preserves information and avoids jumping to conclusions.
How to prepare
- Revise how to label, log, store and transfer material that may be used as evidence.
- Practise building a timeline from records that use different times or contain gaps.
- Prepare examples of finding an error, correcting it transparently and preventing a repeat.
- Write several neutral follow-up questions that seek facts without suggesting an answer.
- Think through how you would manage confidential case information around colleagues.
Common mistakes
- Assuming that an inconsistency automatically means someone is dishonest.
- Failing to record where evidence came from or who handled it.
- Using leading questions that shape a witness's answer.
- Hiding a mistake in a note instead of correcting it transparently.
