I’m a CIPD Chartered Member and accredited workplace investigator with 23 years of police experience, retiring as an Inspector after an injury on duty. My background includes chairing the Multi‑Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) and extensive safeguarding work, managing and presenting complex domestic abuse cases in court. This experience shaped my commitment to fairness, trauma‑informed practice and meticulous, evidence‑based decision‑making.
I bring strong legal knowledge, a deep interest in employment law, and first‑hand insight as a former Employment Tribunal claimant — giving me a uniquely balanced understanding of fairness, process and people. I specialise in workplace investigation, HR investigation and disciplinary investigation, alongside designing and delivering Equality Act training that reduces discrimination and legal risk in the workplace.
As a trusted HR partner, my work helps organisations reduce stress, improve retention and resolve complex issues with clarity and confidence. I love solving problems, writing policies that genuinely work for people, and supporting organisations to build fair, inclusive and legally robust cultures.
Outside of work, you’ll find me walking with Orso the dog and enjoying time outdoors.
Independent. Chartered. Human‑centred.
Why choose an independent investigator or chair
Independence brings credibility, neutrality and assurance — especially when matters are complex, sensitive or high‑risk. The ACAS Code highlights this clearly:
“Employers and employees should always seek to resolve disciplinary and grievance issues in the workplace. Where this is not possible, employers and employees should consider using an independent third party to help resolve the problem.”
By choosing an external investigator or chair, you reduce the risk of bias, conflict of interest and procedural error. You also demonstrate a genuine commitment to fairness, transparency and good practice.
