Truth and Lies

For children’s evidence to be used in criminal or family proceedings, they need to demonstrate their understanding of the difference between truth and lies. This mobile app contains 20 clips for children and young people to watch and answer a simple question: ‘Did they tell the truth or a lie?’

Tried and tested in more than 200 police interviews and criminal trials, these 20 film clips (10-20 seconds) show real children telling the truth or telling lies about events proven to engage children and young people.

These films resolve a number of problems, requiring minimal language processing, not requesting the child to imagine or pretend or listen to a ‘story’, and requiring no person present to tell a lie or be accused of lying.

The app is available on both Apple and Android devices via the relevant app store for £14.99
