What is an interview under caution

An interview under caution is a formal interview conducted by a regulator or investigator, most commonly the HSE, where anything said may later be used in evidence. It's a different process to a routine conversation with an inspector, and it should be treated with the same seriousness as a police interview.

What happens during an interview under caution

You'll be asked questions about the incident or alleged breach under investigation. The interview is recorded, and the investigator will use your answers, or your decision not to answer, when deciding whether to bring enforcement action or a prosecution. We prepare clients in advance so they understand the process, know what's being asked and why, and aren't caught off guard.

Do I need a solicitor for an interview under caution

Yes. Interviews under caution can significantly affect prosecution decisions and should always be approached with legal representation. Answers given during the interview may later be used as evidence, and getting advice beforehand, not after, is what makes the difference.
