Advisory Service
Targeted investigative expertise, exactly where you need it
Orava’s advisory services are designed for situations where a full independent investigation may not be required, but expert investigative support is still essential.
Higher education institutions and schools may encounter particularly complex or sensitive aspects of a case, such as complex investigative interview stratgies, where targeted guidance can make a significant difference. In these circumstances, Orava can act as an external consultant, providing independent, specialist advice to support internal teams and decision‑makers.
Drawing on extensive investigative experience and sector knowledge, we work alongside organisations to offer practical, proportionate guidance aligned with relevant frameworks and best practice. This flexible approach allows institutions to retain ownership of their processes while benefitting from additional expertise, assurance, and confidence when navigating challenging investigative issues.
