Janette Hermann offers independent investigations into sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA), sexual harassment, bullying, and misconduct within organisations, sports federations, private companies, schools, and universities. All investigations are conducted objectively, following strict international safeguarding protocols, including the United Nations SEA guidelines. Her approach is trauma-informed and fair, with clear, practical recommendations to support safe, ethical, and accountable environments.
Why an Independent Investigation Matters​
Conducting a professional, impartial investigation is crucial in safeguarding the dignity, rights, and well-being of all individuals involved. It ensures:
-
Fair and unbiased handling of sensitive allegations
-
Protection of victims and whistle-blowers from retaliation
-
Compliance with legal and safeguarding obligations
-
Restoration of trust within the workplace or learning environment
-
Clear accountability and recommendations for improved systems, culture, and safety
Failing to act on allegations can expose organisations to reputational harm, legal risk, and ongoing harm to vulnerable individuals. A well-managed investigation not only addresses immediate concerns but also reinforces a culture of safety, integrity, and respect.
