Investigations
From time to time, employers find themselves in the position of having to carry out an internal investigation. This might be due to a grievance or disciplinary matter, or some other dispute such as a potential whistleblowing case, and it may involve senior management or directors. Sometimes, the employer is too small to have someone available to do this, or, in a larger organisation, perhaps the subject of the investigation is themselves the manager or a director, so an independent hand is required.
Alternatively, any size organisation may simply choose to have a totally independent investigator. This can be a sound policy to avoid accusations of conflicts of interest.
It is crucial that investigations are handled impartially, and that evidence is collected and assessed in a manner that will not prejudice any outcome. Our conclusions are based on the balance of evidence available. We offer a discreet, evidence-based, sensitive and highly professional independent investigation and reporting service for the following:
Our investigation services range from impartial chairing of meetings or hearings, right through to major investigations resulting in detailed reports.
