Every investigation conducted without bias or conflict of interest. Our independence is our most valuable asset — and we protect it absolutely.
Every matter handled with the utmost discretion. All parties, documents, and proceedings protected throughout.
We don't cut corners. Every investigation follows a structured, evidence-based process producing findings that are factually sound and legally defensible.
Every person involved deserves to be heard and treated with respect — regardless of their role or the allegations made.
Our Mental Health First Aid training ensures we approach every interview with the sensitivity these deeply human processes demand.
We deliver what we commit to — on time, within scope, to the standard our clients and their legal teams expect.
We assess the situation, scope the investigation, and advise on any immediate protective measures needed.
A formal plan agreed upon — timeline, interview schedule, document scope, and key milestones.
Structured, procedurally fair interviews with all parties. Thorough document and records review.
Objective assessment of all evidence against applicable policies, legal standards, and best practice.
A clear, legally defensible written report — findings of fact, conclusions, and actionable recommendations.
When a complaint arises, the instinct is often to investigate internally. But internal investigations carry serious risks — perceived bias, legal vulnerability, and erosion of trust on all sides.
An independent external investigator eliminates these risks. Under Bill C-65 and human rights frameworks, independence is not just best practice — in many cases, it is a legal requirement.
At Roots, our independence is absolute. We have no ongoing relationship with either party, no stake in any particular outcome, and no interest beyond the truth.
