- Sufficient resourcing of the investigation;
- Fairness to all parties, including complainants, witnesses, and the person/s complained about;
- Speedy completion of the investigation
- Strict confidentiality; and
- Reliable findings which can be used to take further action, including disciplinary action.
- Advice for employers on investigation processes to be completed in house.
