When there are allegations or complaints involving staff, volunteers, students, young people or children you need to establish the facts before you make any decisions. From historic abuse claims to workplace bullying, often it’s necessary to engage an external expert to lead your investigation or review process. An independent investigation minimises several key risks: conflict of interest, perception of bias, incorrect or inefficient process.

But we believe that an investigation or review is more than just a risk-mitigation procedure. It’s a means by which we can advocate for truth and oppose injustice in our communities – an opportunity to demonstrate commitment to our core values and beliefs. An investigation is relational. It involves people. Our approach is shaped by a foundational belief that every person we deal with – reporting parties, victims, complainants, witnesses, responding parties – has inherent dignity and worth. They have rights. And it’s our job to uphold those rights through the investigation process.

We’re not a law firm and we’re also not your average workplace investigation company. We specialise in independent investigations for your sector. We combine extensive investigation experience with a strong understanding of how schools/kura, tertiary institutions, faith-based organisations, and other non-profits work. While other investigation companies work across industries, we bring sector-specific insights from our work in your environment. We know how your sector functions, how your people relate, and what’s at stake when issues arise. 

Unlike lawyers or advocates, we focus on simply finding the facts, not defence or advocacy. Our goal is to simply uncover what happened – impartially, fairly and with minimal disruption. 

The result? Investigations and reviews that are effective, efficient and ethical. Rock-solid. Investigations that everyone can trust.
