investigations

At Sagacious Associates, we understand how challenging and sensitive workplace issues can be. Whether the matter concerns conduct, capability, grievances, complaints, bullying, harassment, discrimination, or other complex employee relations concerns, it is essential to approach investigations with independence, fairness and thoroughness.

We provide professional, impartial investigation services to support employers in managing issues effectively, quickly, and with integrity. Our investigations ensure that facts are established, natural justice is observed, and robust findings are presented to support informed and watertight decision-making. 

We pride ourselves on making sound recommendations following each investigation, rooted in experience and the wish to help our clients move forward as quickly as possible. 

Our Lead Investigator is a highly experienced education executive leader, qualified inspector and trained investigator.

His deep understanding of procedural fairness and practical insight into organisational dynamics ensures every investigation is handled with skill, sensitivity, and attention to detail.

In addition to his professional work, he serves in a voluntary capacity as one of the Minister-appointed Professional Conduct Panellists for the Teaching Regulation Agency, the body responsible for regulating every teacher in England and Wales.
