For example, most recently her work has informed and contributed to the 20 Principles of Questioning which guide the ways in which children and vulnerable witnesses are examined in the court process. She has also pioneered the development and application of an interview protocol (LIP) which has been used in investigations (including children), post incident management, and by United Nations (UN) experts.
