The Service

Establish the facts before deciding what follows.

Serious workplace allegations require a process that is fair, confidential and capable of withstanding scrutiny.

SLLC helps organisations determine what happened, who was involved, what evidence exists and whether internal rules or legal duties may have been breached. The investigation is structured around the facts and concludes with a clear report that enables management to make an informed decision.

When to Investigate

When the facts are disputed or the matter is serious.

An independent investigation can protect the organisation, the affected employees and the integrity of the process.
01 Serious misconduct has been alleged. Establish the facts and available evidence before disciplinary action is considered.
02 A grievance involves senior employees or management. Use an independent process where internal impartiality may be questioned.
03 Harassment, discrimination or victimisation is alleged. Handle the complaint with care, confidentiality and procedural fairness.
04 Conflicting versions make the matter unclear. Review documents, interview witnesses and test the available evidence.
