The criminal investigation in Barnahus, including the forensic interview, respects the procedural safeguards of both the child and the defendant. 

A child-friendly forensic interview is carried out according to an evidence-based protocol by a specialised forensic interviewer to secure the best possible evidence and to protect the child from (re)traumatization.

The interview is recorded and represents admissible evidence in Court.
