Considers the 1992 Home Office Memorandum of Good Practice on investigative interviews with children who have disabilities, identifying concerns and shortcomings and contradictions within the guidance. Argues that the Memorandum has a limited role for interviewing children with disabilities and that much greater flexibility in investigative interviewing is required to meet their special needs.
