Investigations in the workplace are held to clarify and establish the facts of a case and help employers reach a decision. For example, whether there are grounds to uphold a grievance, call a disciplinary hearing or dismiss a member of staff.
Workplace investigations should be conducted fairly. Employers could be held liable if a poor investigation leads to an unfair dismissal claim.
Delivered via Zoom, this event will provide you with key techniques, procedures and checklists to help ensure that you are considering all the crucial facts and that you undertake the process in a fair and unbiased manner.
You will also gain valuable understanding of what the law requires and learn key investigation skills, such as analysis and report writing.

This roundtable discussion will explore the challenges of managing debt acquired during the crisis in a post pandemic world.
Taking risks is part of running a small business, but it’s not easy to plan for the unexpected, especially when it’s a global pandemic. Research from the British Chambers of Commerce shows that almost half of firms have reported an increase in debt since the start of the Coronavirus pandemic. Over half of firms are looking to access finance over the next twelve months, but a quarter of respondents describe their current level of debt as either ‘unmanageable’ or ‘high and manageable’.
This roundtable discussion, delivered in partnership with the British Chambers of Commerce, TSB and the APPG for Fair Business Banking will bring SMEs from a wide range of sectors together to discuss how to manage debt in a post-pandemic world.
This roundtable discussion will:
Share best practice for managing what your business owes
Cover the options that are available to your business
Explore what your business needs to grow in the next 12 months
What lenders and government can do to support their customers through the recovery
Please note that this event is for:
SMEs who have a turnover below £2 million
