Investigation Services
Our fixed price investigation services will help you to deal with disciplinary and grievance issues swiftly and in compliance with the ACAS Code of Practice.
From time to time, things go wrong within a business and it becomes necessary to invoke the disciplinary or grievance procedure to manage the situation. On most occasions, it will be possible to manage it in-house, but there will be times when it is necessary to bring in an external person to conduct an impartial investigation, for example in cases of potential gross misconduct when the outcome may be dismissal or where the nature of the incident means that it is difficult within limited resources, to find an appropriate internal person to conduct the investigation. This is where we can help.
We understand that one concern that managers/business-owners have when bringing in an external investigator is 'how much is this going to cost?'. Our fixed price investigation packages have been designed to take away this concern and allow you to concentrate on resolving the issue and getting on with running your business/department. We have two fixed-price investigation packages; one for more basic investigations involving a smaller number of people and a second package for more complex issues, which may involve a greater number of people and the details for each of these is given below...
What is Included?
Our basic investigation package includes:
Review of initial paperwork and documents
Interviews (face-to-face and/or telephone where appropriate) ~ up to 10 people
Preparation of individual transcripts and sign-off
Preparation of comprehensive final report into findings
Attendance at meetings/hearings to present findings as necessary
All of this for just
£3,500*
* Additional mileage charges at HMRC rates will be incurred, where it is necessary to travel beyond a 20-mile radius of the office to conduct investigation meetings. Clients will be notified where this is applicable.
50% of the total cost will be payable prior to the commencement of the investigation and the remainder will become payable upon completion.

We will always use our best endeavours to conduct and complete investigations within agreed timescales. However; where it is necessary to meet with multiple people during the course of the investigation, the process can be constrained by their availability. Where delays are likely to occur as a consequence of this, we will discuss this with the client and keep them fully informed of our progress.
