Wigan, Wrightington & Leigh NHS Foundation Trust
“…the case manager has commented on the quality of the work and was impressed with the level of detail and analysis which was evident within the report and also the clear and concise format.”
High Peak Theatre Trust
“IBD assisted the High Peak Theatre Trust with two confidential and sensitive case investigations. One case involved a complaint made against colleagues. IBD assisted the directors by providing expert HR advice and guidance through each stage of the investigation process. In the second complex case, IBD led the investigation process on behalf of the company. In both assignments, IBD impressed us by their ability to quickly focus on the relevant issues and shape the process. IBD established trust and a rapport with all parties and the manner in which the organisation was provided with pragmatic and helpful guidance enabled a speedy and constructive conclusion to the process. The written reports and guidance IBD produced for us were completed on time and to a high standard. I could have no hesitation in recommending IBD for assignments of this nature.”
Private Client
“We appointed Linda Pritchard at Investigations By Design to handle an independent, external, investigation for us into a series of whistle blower allegations. We couldn’t have been more satisfied with her overall approach and the thorough and measured way that she set about understanding the organisation and the background to the allegations that were made. She worked quickly and produced an excellent report at the end of the process. I would certainly use IBD should we find ourselves needing these services again.”
