Teaching report writing is a difficult task for even the most seasoned investigator. Even if you have experience investigating, communicating the concepts is often difficult because we rely on experience and intuition to know what needs to be done and what questions need to be asked to forward an investigation.

This is especially true if your trainee is struggling with the skill of report writing. I will always argue that the first skill to develop when teaching report writing is investigating.

Understanding what is “relevant” and needs to be documented in an investigative report depends on the investigation being conducted.
