Employment Investigations - overview

Failure to treat employees fairly and to carry out reasonable employment investigations may result in claims for wrongful dismissal, unfair dismissal or discrimination.

This practical, structured employment investigations course gives you a comprehensive understanding of how to carry out internal investigations in relation to both grievance and disciplinary processes. It will help you ensure your employment investigations are compliant with legislation and meet best practice in accordance with the Acas Code.

The training also ensures that evidence collected during an internal employment investigation will be admissible and reliable if it is needed in a criminal court.

The Employment Investigation training course can count towards the 8-day nationally recognised qualification - the Advanced Professional Certificate In Investigative Practice - or towards the 2-day Advanced Award in Employment Law and Investigations.
