Due Diligence: The gold standard for internal investigations

Ordered legal desk

Beyond Standard Investigation

The investigation procedure must not only be swift and confidential, but must also be governed by Due Diligence and No Secondary Victimization principles.

What does this entail?

Rational and fair process: Impartiality must be the standard of treatment throughout the entire investigation.
Avoid re-victimization: Minimize the number of times the victim must recount the events and protect their honor and dignity at all times.
Gender perspective: Identify gaps to avoid perpetuating inequalities during the investigative process.
