Independent specialist support
Independent support when impartiality matters
When a workplace matter is serious, contested or too close to home, an experienced independent investigator protects the process.
What I handle
Serious matters, handled carefully and fairly.
Investigations
Grievance and disciplinary investigations, including conduct and behaviour concerns.
Hearings
Independent chairing and support for formal hearings, ensuring fair process and clear outcomes.
Appeals
Appeal investigations and independent appeal hearings.
Complex employee relations
Sensitive or long-running matters needing experienced handling.
Extra capacity for HR teams
Specialist support when your own People team is too close to it, or stretched.
How it works
Calm, methodical, proportionate.
- 01
Understand
Agreed terms of reference before anyone is spoken to.

Clear findings a decision-maker can defend.
Relevant experience
