Supporting Providers Through Safeguarding Investigations.

Looking for specialist, actionable advice?

For urgent advice, please call 0333 240 0400.

Local authority safeguarding investigations can be worrying, stressful and disruptive for providers. When concerns are raised, it is important to act quickly, take control from the outset and protect both the people in your care and your business.

Safeguarding issues are serious, and the way an investigation is managed can have significant implications for your organisation, your staff and your reputation. Our experts provide clear, practical and commercially focused support throughout the process.

We work in close partnership with providers to help them understand their position, respond effectively and ensure the investigation is handled fairly and proportionately.

We have substantial expertise advising providers on safeguarding investigations and can assist with the following:

  • Making statutory notifications and referrals
  • Attending safeguarding meetings
  • Liaising with commissioners and CQC
  • Ensuring a fair and proportionate process is followed by the local authority
  • Preparing Action Plans
  • Advising on staff-related issues, such as suspension, performance management, and the disciplinary process
  • Challenging and negotiating embargos
  • Managing reputational damage
