Disciplinary Investigations – Following consultation with the client and agreeing terms of reference we will conduct a transparent, ethical, lawful, objective and impartial investigation into the allegation(s) that have been raised for us to investigate.

We will identify and interview all key witnesses, presenting the evidence in a clear and transparent manner. We will also interview the accused member of staff, presenting them with the facts and allowing them opportunity to respond to the allegations and provide their version of events.

Our investigation will also include a review of all other sources of available evidence.

We will provide you with a full detailed report at the conclusion of the investigation and provide you with guidance as to whether there is a case to answer.

We will provide you access to all of our findings and keep you updated of all information obtained throughout the investigation. We will conduct all meetings / interviews with witnesses and accused individuals, fairly and confidentially ensuring all individuals concerns and wellbeing are at the forefront of the investigation.

We will present before your chosen adjudicator the full investigation and provide advice and guidance of rationale and all strands of outcome available.

We will maintain strict confidentiality and provide you with a copy of all information / evidence whether used or unused for any future appeals process.

We will maintain contact and be ever present and available to present before any internal appeals process in the future.

Whilst commissioning an independent investigator invariably negates an investigation progressing to Employment Tribunal, should this occur we would present our investigation findings and rationale to the Employment Tribunal panel.
