How we handle your information.
Confidentiality starts with how you contact us. We agree how to communicate before you share anything sensitive.
Our approach to client security- You set the contact arrangements.
- Safe call times agreed with you. No voicemail unless you ask. Our first response to a form enquiry is by email.
- Sensitive details can wait.
- A brief outline is enough at first. We arrange an appropriate secure channel before you share evidence or detailed allegations.
- Privacy has practical limits.
- Visits and messages can leave records on shared devices or accounts. Our guidance explains these risks before you make contact.
From instruction to findings
Three steps, agreed in writing.
You should know what you are instructing, what it will cost, and what the findings can tell you.
Establish the question.
We assess the purpose, feasibility, and lawful scope of the proposed work. The first conversation is free.
Work to an agreed brief.
Methods, costs, and reporting are agreed before work begins. Changes require your agreement.
Set out the evidence.
A written report separates findings from inference and makes gaps and limitations clear.
See what a finding
looks like.
A useful report shows how the evidence supports the answer, and where it stops. These examples are fictional cases, with their reasoning and evidence schedules.
