Don’t Be That Investigator: Trauma-Informed and Culturally Sensitive Approaches to Investigating Sexual Misconduct
8.30 am to 1.00 pm
Friday, 14th October 2022

In our unique event, we will examine how corporate investigators can manage complainants, witnesses and employees accused of wrongdoing in a culturally sensitive way, including duty of care to all parties concerned. The course will discuss how to respond to complex sexual misconduct allegations using trauma-informed approaches as part of a robust response, the role bias can play in an investigation, employment law implications and how sexual misconduct investigations link to wider organisation culture discussions.
