By |2021-02-02T17:08:03+00:00February 1st, 2021|Categories: Investigative Interviewing, Training|

As we enter Sexual abuse and sexual violence awareness week 2021 it presents an opportunity to better understand how empathy, rapport, and trust during workplace investigation meetings will do so much to support and deliver reliable outcomes for victims. Mick Confrey, Intersol chief operations officer, shares the experience of conducting hundreds of workplace cognitive interviews.  A key skill of an investigator conducting investigation meetings/interviews with persons reporting traumatic events is their ability to support and empower the person to give their account of events at their pace and in the order, they choose to relay the reported events.

Five reasons to train your staff in ethical, effective and timely Investigations and Investigation Meetings

By |2021-01-26T12:16:21+00:00January 20th, 2021|Categories: Training|

Investigations conducted poorly cost lives, livelihoods, and careers and have the potential to destroy reputations and brands. Ethical and effective investigations reliably inform reports ensuring better-informed decision-making. An ‘invest to save’ model with front-end investment will secure significant savings in the long-term. An effective investigation ‘shines a light’ on your ethics.  Investigations can be expensive. That cost can be measured not just in capital investment, but poor investigationswill lead to reputational risk, the destruction of careers, and in some cases cost life. Investigations inevitably place your ethics, philosophy, and core values under the microscope. Supporting your staff with a quality, accredited, [...]

Rola-Cola or Coca-Cola Investigation Training - Your Shout! What's Peter Kay got to do with investigation training?

When Safeguarding Case Management (SCM) Goes Wrong

By |2020-06-15T18:25:11+00:00June 15th, 2020|Categories: Audit and Compliance, Audit and GRC, CEO's Blog, Conferences, Education, Financial Services, Health, Health and Safety, Investigative Interviewing, Law Enforcement, Legal Services, Products and Solutions, Professional Development, Regulators, Safeguarding, Seminars and Workshops, Sport, Training, University News|Tags: , , , , , , , , , |

When Safeguarding Case Management (SCM) Goes Wrong When safeguarding goes wrong the consequences are frequently catastrophic and life-changing. Whether it's sports, education, charities, health, or the workplace, there is no shortage of examples of the devastating impact of sub-standard Safeguarding Case Management (SCM). Increasing commissions to review SCM highlight the inter-dependancies of proactive and reactive phases of SCM. Only when the proactive goes wrong or is found wanting is the relationship between them scrutinised and the reactive phase triggered. That phase is NOT just about apportioning blame, 'putting a head on a stick', it is as much about WHY something has [...]

Trauma informed remote interviewing of vulnerable witnesses At a time when interviewing key witnesses face to face is particularly challenging this short paper highlights some specific challenges when that witness is vulnerable, particularly in the context of trauma informed investigation. Much has been discussed on webinars about the benefits and pitfalls of remote interviewing and it is not unreasonable to think that there will be pressure post-Covid to conduct many more interviews 'virtually' to secure savings and efficiencies, and rightly so. However, there must always remain those instances when there is no substitute for the benefits and well-being secured by face [...]

Read on!  What is an investigation?  An investigation is a thorough search for facts, especially those that are hidden or need to be sorted out in a complex situation.
