What our customers say

Hear how teams are creating safer, more open workplaces by giving people the confidence to speak up - and the tools to act when it matters most.

"We were seeing trends that we were able to push up into committee structures and say - 'We know where our problems are. We know what our resourcing needs to look like.'"

Nicola Campbell
Head of Conduct and Respect

"Report + Support™ has been an instrumental tool for us in terms of addressing barriers to reporting unwanted behaviours, as well as monitoring trends and collecting data insights to inform our preventative and response strategies."

"It is highly user‑friendly, intuitive to navigate, and continually evolving - actively streamlining and improving processes in response to community‑driven feedback."

Karen Bowlby
Inclusion Manager

"The thing I value most about the Report + Support system is that it's safe, it's secure, but also provides an avenue for you to seek support. Not only to report, but you can also ask for support through the system."

Dawda Samba
Diversity and Inclusion Manager

"It's enabled us to be really data driven. We know that the issues are there, but having that reporting tool where we can actually capture how many reports are coming in, the data on the different types of issues that are being experienced, we can obviously then amend and create our services with that in mind."

Key Legal & Risk challenges in managing workplace misconduct

From regulatory scrutiny to litigation exposure, Legal & Risk leaders must ensure workplace concerns are managed through robust, consistent, and defensible processes. In an environment of increasing regulatory expectation and reputational sensitivity, visibility and control are critical. Report + Support™ provides the structure, auditability, and insight needed to manage risk proactively and demonstrate compliance with confidence.

Regulatory compliance 

Organisations are required to meet a growing range of legal and regulatory obligations, including employment law, whistleblowing regulations, safeguarding duties, and industry-specific standards. Demonstrating true compliance is not only about having policies in place, but about evidencing how concerns are received, assessed, investigated, and resolved in practice. Report + Support™ supports compliance by providing structured workflows, consistent case handling, and clear audit trails that enable organisations to demonstrate due diligence and readiness for regulatory scrutiny.

Litigation risk

Workplace disputes, grievances, and misconduct cases can quickly escalate into formal investigations, employment tribunals or legal claims if not handled consistently and appropriately. In many organisations, fragmented processes or incomplete documentation increase exposure to legal challenge. Report + Support™ reduces this risk by centralising all cases in one secure system, ensuring consistent handling, complete records, and clear audit trails that support defensible decision-making and strengthen legal protection.

Whistleblowing obligations

Effective whistleblowing arrangements are essential for identifying serious misconduct early and meeting regulatory expectations around protected disclosures. However, employees may be reluctant to report 'low level' concerns without secure and trusted channels. Report + Support™ provides confidential and anonymous reporting options, alongside structured case management processes, ensuring that disclosures are captured securely, escalated appropriately, and managed in line with whistleblowing requirements and best practice, no matter the scale or severity of the issue.

Governance

Inconsistent handling of workplace concerns can create gaps in oversight, weaken governance, and increase organisational risk. Without a standardised approach, similar cases may be managed differently across departments or managers. Report + Support™ ensures consistency through structured workflows, defined processes, and centralised oversight, enabling Legal and Risk teams to maintain control, monitor outcomes, and ensure fair and transparent decision-making across all cases.

Reputational risk

Workplace issues can escalate quickly from internal concerns to external scrutiny, media attention, or reputational damage if not addressed early and effectively. The speed and transparency of response are critical to protecting organisational trust. Report + Support™ enables early identification of patterns, repeat issues, and high-risk areas, allowing organisations to intervene proactively, address systemic issues, and reduce the likelihood of reputational harm or crisis escalation.

FAQs

Questions? We've got answers.

How can organisations reduce legal risk from workplace misconduct?

Reducing legal risk from workplace misconduct starts with early identification, consistent handling, and clear documentation of all concerns. Without structured processes, issues can escalate into grievances, formal disputes, or employment tribunal claims. A centralised reporting and case management system ensures all workplace concerns are captured, investigated, and recorded consistently, helping organisations reduce exposure and demonstrate defensible decision-making.

What is the best way to manage whistleblowing reports?

Effective whistleblowing management requires secure, confidential reporting channels and clearly defined escalation processes. Organisations must enable anonymous reporting, protect whistleblowers from retaliation, and ensure concerns are assessed and investigated appropriately. A dedicated whistleblowing or case management platform helps standardise handling, maintain confidentiality, and ensure reports are managed in line with best practice expectations and governance requirements.

How can organisations demonstrate compliance with employment law?

Demonstrating compliance requires more than policies - it requires evidence of how workplace concerns are handled in practice. Organisations need consistent processes, structured case management, and complete documentation of actions taken. Audit trails, investigation records, and reporting data provide the evidence needed to demonstrate that concerns are managed appropriately and that governance standards are being met.

Why are audit trails important in workplace investigations?

Audit trails provide a clear, time-stamped record of every action, decision, and update made during a workplace investigation. This creates transparency and accountability across the process and ensures decisions can be reviewed and justified if challenged. Audit trails are essential for demonstrating due diligence during internal reviews, regulatory scrutiny, or legal proceedings.

How can legal and risk teams identify emerging risks?

Risk and compliance teams can identify emerging risks by analysing workplace reporting data to detect patterns, trends, repeat behaviours, and high-risk areas across the organisation. Real-time dashboards and reporting tools provide visibility of trends as they develop, enabling earlier intervention and reducing the likelihood of escalation into legal, regulatory, or reputational issues.

What role does training play in compliance and risk management?

Training plays a critical role in compliance by ensuring employees and managers understand reporting procedures, behavioural expectations, and organisational policies. It helps reduce risk by improving awareness of misconduct, reinforcing correct processes, and ensuring concerns are escalated appropriately and handled consistently across the organisation.

How can organisations move from reactive to proactive risk management?

Organisations can move from reactive to proactive risk management by combining early reporting mechanisms with real-time data and trend analysis. This allows patterns of behaviour and emerging risks to be identified earlier, enabling preventative action before issues escalate into formal complaints, legal claims, or reputational damage.
