Course Overview
Professionals from all industries can be called upon to conduct investigations within the workplace. It’s crucial that impartiality and fairness are adopted by those tasked with the investigation, but there is a lot more to consider here. Please note, live virtual courses are delivered separately to classroom courses. Learners will not be able to dial in to a classroom course.
The purpose of the investigation may be to establish whether a crime has been committed. Perhaps a complaint has been raised, or an incident has happened which requires analysis. It may be a suspicion of malpractice, or the organisation is suffering from internal theft. Investigations can lead to supporting potential litigation, or internal disciplinary procedures.
This popular classroom training course provides the basic skills and knowledge necessary to undertake fair, legally-compliant and effective investigations. You’ll leave training with a thorough understanding of the relationship between employment law to criminal law. You’ll cover corporate risk, the nuances of body language and questioning styles and techniques.
The training course is delivered by subject matter experts, using interactive case studies and practical scenarios. It is based on UK law, and considers international legal frameworks. The training draws out specific details from jurisdictions represented by the learner group.
Although this training course includes elements of ‘security’, it is not just aimed at those within security departments. We welcome those from HR, Facilities, general management roles, and many functions which sit outside that of the traditional security manager. Your tutor will ensure your personal and professional motivations for wishing to complete this training is understood and catered to.

Assessment is wide ranging. The core assessment is a workbook based on the knowledge gained during the course and applying that to focused questions. A second assessment is linked to a scenario that runs throughout the course. A final presentation provides learner groups with the opportunity to practically apply and demonstrate the knowledge and skills developed during the course. This group work forms the basis of a written investigation report that is completed post-course by the learner. Lastly there are 1-2-1 sessions with the tutor who provides input on the learner’s engagement with the course materials and interaction with group activities.
