## Checking plan

**Line-by-line review**

The plan is a set of questions. It is not a script that assumes the answer.

- What the AI does: Draft interview questions from the investigator’s allegation list, with a question for each allegation and room for the person’s account.
- What the lawyer does: Edit the questions so they are fair, cover each allegation, and do not put words in the witness’s mouth.
- Who reviews: Lawyer competent in the matter and the forum
- Basis: Planning guidance checked against the linked public sources on 22 September 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.
- Why: The traffic light follows the consequence of an error and how much of the output the lawyer must check before it is used.
- Written for: NSW

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. One group of questions per allegation.
2. Remove leading questions and suggested answers.
3. Include the person’s chance to respond, in open wording.
4. The investigator approves the plan before anyone is interviewed.

## Notes

- Suggested working checks from the linked public sources. Read the source and confirm it applies to this forum and this date. The checks do not approve software or record that the work is done.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: The workplace’s location and any industrial instrument that applies

**Deliverable**: An interview plan the investigator will edit before the meeting.

**Inputs**

- The allegation list
- The role of the person to be interviewed
- Any policy steps the investigator must follow

**Example**: “Why did you shout at Sam on 3 March?” assumes the event. “What happened on 3 March?” does not.

**Stop and escalate when**

- There is no settled allegation list.
- The plan includes suggested answers or a credibility rating.
