An objective external perspective
Our independent approach helps ensure concerns are examined objectively, all relevant information is considered and findings are presented clearly and fairly.
Whether concerns relate to the safeguarding of adults, children or young people, professional conduct, organisational culture or failures in safeguarding practice, we provide a trusted external perspective that promotes accountability, learning and improvement.
Our investigation services include
Safeguarding concerns involving adults at risk
Child protection and safeguarding concerns
Allegations against staff, volunteers or leaders
Organisational safeguarding culture reviews
Review of safeguarding practice and decision-making
Why choose an independent investigation?
An internal investigation may not be appropriate because of potential conflicts of interest, senior staff involvement, concerns about impartiality, the complexity of the issues raised, the need for external assurance or reputational considerations.
An independent investigator can provide transparency, credibility and reassurance for all parties involved while helping organisations demonstrate that concerns are being taken seriously.
