Independent workplace Investigation Services

 When workplace concerns are complex, sensitive or require an impartial approach, appointing an experienced independent investigator can provide confidence in both the process and the findings.

Investigations Work provides specialist investigation services to HR teams, senior leaders and organisations across the public and private sectors.

With over 20 years' experience in HR and employee relations, Chartered CIPD membership and legal qualifications, I bring professional judgement, procedural rigour and a thorough, evidence-based approach to every investigation.

My focus is on conducting fair, independent investigations and producing clear, comprehensive reports that enable organisations to make informed and defensible decisions.

 I investigate a wide range of workplace concerns, including bullying, harassment, discrimination, whistleblowing, grievances and allegations of misconduct.

 Workplace mediation provides a confidential and constructive approach to resolving conflict and rebuilding working relationships.

As an Accredited Workplace Mediator, I help individuals explore their differences, improve communication and work towards mutually acceptable solutions.

Mediation can be particularly valuable where relationships have deteriorated, either before a dispute escalates or following the conclusion of a workplace investigation.

 An independent review can provide valuable reassurance before an organisation relies on an investigation report to make important employment decisions.

I provide a thorough, impartial assessment of investigation reports, examining the terms of reference, evidence, interview records, findings and supporting rationale to identify potential gaps, inconsistencies, procedural weaknesses or unsupported conclusions.

My review focuses on evidential robustness, procedural fairness and the clarity of findings, helping organisations identify areas requiring further consideration before decisions are made.

 Effective workplace investigations require more than an understanding of policies and procedures. They demand strong interviewing skills, sound judgement and the ability to assess evidence objectively.

Drawing on my extensive HR and workplace investigation experience, I provide practical training for HR professionals and managers responsible for conducting workplace investigations.

Training covers investigation planning, effective questioning, witness interviews, evidence assessment, procedural fairness and producing clear, well-reasoned findings.

I also offer training in handling difficult workplace conversations, helping managers address concerns constructively before they escalate into formal disputes.

 I work with HR Directors, Heads of People, senior leaders and organisations requiring independent, impartial workplace investigation support.

My experience spans the NHS, local government, education and the private sector, supporting organisations with complex and sensitive workplace concerns.

I also work with employment law firms, HR consultancies and specialist investigation providers requiring experienced independent investigation support on an associate basis.

Whether you need an investigator for a particularly sensitive matter, specialist expertise or additional investigation capacity, I provide a professional, thorough and evidence-based approach tailored to your organisation's needs.
