What We Do
Cognition Training & Consultancy provides specialist workplace investigation training and independent investigation services for organisations across the UK. We help HR teams, managers, safeguarding leads, and regulated‑sector professionals conduct investigations that are fair, consistent, and able to withstand external scrutiny.
We also provide external investigative resource when organisations need additional capacity, independence, or specialist expertise — delivering clear, ACAS‑aligned outcomes that support confident and defensible decision‑making.
WORKPLACE INVESTIGATION TRAINING
Workplace investigation training equips managers, HR teams, and safeguarding professionals with the skills to conduct fair, consistent, and legally defensible investigations.
Our programmes focus on practical, real‑world techniques — evidence gathering, interviewing, analysis, and report writing — ensuring organisations handle misconduct, complaints, and complex cases with confidence.
Designed to also incorporate regulated and high‑risk environments, this training strengthens organisational capability, reduces legal and operational risk, and promotes a culture of accountability, procedural fairness, and ACAS‑aligned decision‑making.
INVESTIGATION SERVICES
Cognition Training & Consultancy provides independent, professional workplace investigation services for organisations that need a trusted external partner to manage sensitive or complex cases. Whether you require support with HR investigations, misconduct allegations, safeguarding concerns, or private investigations, we deliver thorough, impartial, and evidence‑based enquiries that withstand internal and external scrutiny.
Organisations often seek external investigation support when internal teams lack capacity, specialist expertise, or the independence required for high‑risk or contentious cases. Our investigators bring real‑world experience, structured methodology, and a commitment to procedural fairness, ensuring every investigation is managed with confidentiality, accuracy, and professionalism.
From initial scoping and evidence gathering to interviews, analysis, and final reporting, we provide a complete, ACAS‑aligned investigation service tailored to your organisation’s needs. The result is a clear, defensible outcome that supports informed decision‑making and reduces legal, operational, and reputational risk.
CRIMINAL & COMPLAINT BASED TRAINING
Criminal and complaint‑based investigation training equips organisations to respond confidently and professionally to serious incidents, safeguarding concerns, and complex allegations.
Our specialist programmes focus on first‑response decision‑making, trauma‑informed interviewing, evidence handling, and escalation pathways, ensuring teams understand their responsibilities when managing criminal‑threshold or high‑risk complaints.
Designed for regulated and multi‑jurisdictional environments, this training strengthens organisational resilience, improves outcomes for complainants and staff, and reduces legal, reputational, and operational risk.
With a practical, real‑world approach, we help organisations build capability, consistency, and confidence in handling the most sensitive and challenging cases.
