This full day event looks at how to conduct and manage a fair internal investigation, from gathering and assessing evidence through to presenting findings.
Business need
There are many reasons for holding an internal investigation in the workplace.

This course covers key techniques, procedures and checklists to help ensure that you are considering all the critical factors and that you undertake the process in a fair and un-biased manner.
Delegates will develop valuable understanding of what the law requires and will learn key investigation skills, such as analysis and report writing.
