Terrorist Interviewing set back decades (if not centuries!) HIG to be abandoned?

By |2019-12-19T10:33:10+00:00July 2nd, 2018|Categories: Conferences, Law Enforcement, Professional Development|

Iron Maidens, Ducking Stools, and the Judas Cradle were abandoned in civilised society centuries ago, thankfully confined to Dark Museums and history but re-kindled with modern day water-boarding, only banned 10 years ago in 2006 by the US administration when it was realised that the reliability, accuracy and value of such methods was seriously flawed. Indeed in August 2016 the UN advocated the interviewing methodology developed in the UK that relies so much more on rapport building and reciprocity to achieve reliable outcomes. Even that was preceded in history by Scharff, a second world war Lutwaffe officer,  who advocated and deployed [...]

Another example of poor workplace investigation

By |2019-12-19T10:26:45+00:00July 2nd, 2018|Categories: Investigative Interviewing, Seminars and Workshops, Training|

“An employment tribunal has awarded £19,500 for injury to feelings to a zero hours worker who was subjected to gender harassment. While the harassment was not of the very worst type, there were certain aggravating features which merited a high award. The claimant was particularly vulnerable due to her young age and fragile mental health. Also, the perfunctory nature of the employer’s investigation, followed by its protracted and ultimately inadequate way of dealing with the problem, magnified the effect of the harassment on the claimant. (Southern v Britannia Hotels Ltd and another ET/1800507/14.)” (Ack: Practical Law Employment) “When an employment tribunal [...]

Intersol Global save company £000’s and protect reputation – A case study.

By |2019-12-19T10:19:50+00:00July 2nd, 2018|Categories: CEO's Blog, Investigative Interviewing, Products and Solutions, Professional Development, Seminars and Workshops, Training|

Towards the end of 2017 a North West company were faced with a dilemma, suspecting a board member of serious professional misconduct, and approached a national law firm for external employment advice and support. In turn the law firm commissioned Intersol to undertake the workplace enquiries, investigation meetings, and submit an investigation report. The investigation was complex and it was vital that the process was robust yet ethical and transparent as risk to the organisation was potentially huge in terms of cost and reputation if not conducted professionally and competently. Intersol dedicated subject matter experts to the investigation, driven by their [...]
