With more than thirty years of experience, CMP is the UK’s leading provider of workplace investigation services. We support organisations across every sector to resolve complex and sensitive issues with clarity, fairness and care. Our team of specialist investigators is based throughout the UK, led by our Head of Investigations, ensuring consistent quality and reliable outcomes nationwide.

As a trusted workplace investigation provider, CMP delivers impartial and evidence-based findings that help employers make confident, defensible decisions. Each investigation follows a clear structure designed to uphold procedural fairness and minimise risk. We focus on listening, understanding context and maintaining confidentiality at every stage, protecting both the organisation and the individuals involved.

Why Independent Workplace Investigations Matter

Workplace conflict and misconduct can undermine trust, morale and reputation. Handling such matters internally can create perceptions of bias or inconsistency. Choosing an external workplace investigator brings independence, credibility and reassurance for all parties. CMP’s investigators combine professional expertise with an understanding of workplace culture, ensuring that even the most complex cases are approached with balance and empathy.

Our independent workplace investigations cover a wide range of issues, from bullying and harassment to discrimination, whistleblowing, safeguarding and grievance cases. We recognise that each situation is unique and often emotionally charged. Our investigators are trained to manage sensitive conversations with professionalism and respect, ensuring that evidence is gathered thoroughly and that every voice is heard.

Specialist Support for Misconduct, Bullying and Harassment Investigations

CMP is trusted by organisations to deliver misconduct investigations in the workplace that are comprehensive, transparent and procedurally sound. We also conduct bullying and harassment investigations with an emphasis on fairness and dignity for everyone involved. Our trauma-informed approach recognises that such cases can be deeply personal and require careful handling to protect wellbeing while maintaining investigative integrity.

Every investigation is planned and managed with meticulous attention to detail. We produce clear, concise reports supported by robust evidence and objective analysis. This allows employers to act confidently, knowing that decisions are based on sound information and a defensible process.

Setting the Standard in Workplace Investigation Services

CMP is one of the few investigation providers in the UK to hold BS 102000 accreditation, a recognised standard that demonstrates excellence in professional investigation. We are also the only organisation to have established Best Practice Standards for workplace investigations, setting the benchmark for quality and ethical practice in the field.

Our processes are supported by an experienced operations and quality assurance team, ensuring consistency across every case. From the first instruction to the final report, we provide transparency and accountability throughout the process.
