Evidence to Outcome: Making Findings and Report Writing

Why Attend?

When the evidence gathering stage concludes, the most critical—and often most challenging—stage begins: making findings and writing a clear, defensible report. This workshop equips Investigators with the skills to weigh finely balanced evidence, avoid sitting on the fence, and deliver findings that are impartial, well-reasoned, and legally sound.

What You’ll Learn

This immersive session blends legal principles with practical techniques for decision-making and report writing. You’ll step into the shoes of an investigator with a case study and evidence to hone your skills. You’ll learn how to confidently reach a decision and move beyond summarising evidence to analysing it, and how to write reports that are neutral, person-centred, and trauma-informed.

Workshop Highlights:

Learning objectives

Understand why your job is to make a decision—not to defer or dilute findings—and how to do so with confidence.
Staying impartial and recognising unconscious bias
Structuring reports to ensure clarity and demonstrate procedural fairness
How to analyse evidence in your writing rather than simply repeating it
Using neutral, unbiased, and trauma-informed language

Practical Application
Work through a case study where you will:

Weigh conflicting evidence and make findings
Learn how to use precise, professional investigator language to clearly demonstrate your reasoning—showing why certain evidence was given more weight and why some accounts were preferred over others
Draft a section of a report that demonstrates analysis, not just summary of the evidence
Apply best-practice principles for tone, neutrality, and person-centred writing
Be provided with a template report

Interactive & Real-World
This is not a lecture. It’s a hands-on, scenario-based workshop led by experienced Q Workplace Solutions investigators. You’ll leave with practical tools and confidence to tackle the most complex part of any investigation.
