Independent Investigative Services

A clear, impartial understanding of what happened

Independent workplace investigations for organisations that need a balanced, evidence-based view they can act on with confidence.

Ask Consult provides independent, impartial workplace investigations for organisations that need a clear, balanced understanding of what has happened. This service is designed for situations where internal relationships, conflicts of interest, or organisational pressures make it difficult for employers to carry out an investigation themselves.

The role of an independent investigating officer is to gather information calmly and objectively — speaking with all parties involved, reviewing relevant documents, assessing evidence, and producing a clear, structured report that outlines findings without bias. The aim is always to support fair decision-making and help organisations handle concerns with confidence and transparency.

Investigations can cover grievances, complaints, conduct concerns, breakdowns in communication, or any situation where an employer needs a neutral professional to step in. Every investigation is handled with confidentiality, sensitivity, and respect for everyone involved.

Reports are written in plain, accessible language so organisations can move forward with a clear understanding of the situation and the options available to them.

Our independence commitment

Impartiality is the foundation of a credible investigation. We do not take on investigation work where we have an existing relationship — mentoring or otherwise — with any party involved, and we're happy to confirm this in writing as part of any engagement. This separation is what allows our findings to stand up to scrutiny.
