As journalists, our job often involves meeting people who have had traumatic or distressing experiences. But, while we're often taught how to think about 'the story' it's also vital we fulfil our duty of care to them. In this practical, hour-long workshop experienced journalist Natasha Preskey will run through practical tips and advice on the whole process, from interview to publication.

We'll cover:

• How put interviewees at ease – and knowing when to stop,
• Ensuring you get informed consent for your story,
• Making sure you get what you need as a journalist,
• How to approach requests for readbacks,
• Managing expectations.

In addition to the workshop there will also be a chance to ask Natasha your questions directly, either as part of the live Q&A or by submitting questions in advance. All participants will receive a copy of the recording and workshop notes you can use when interviewing case studies in the future.
