Our findings

We are committed to transparency and sharing learning to drive improvement.  Details of our findings and conclusions can be found in the reports listed below.  These reports have been pseudonymised and some details removed in order to protect the identity of the whistleblower and others involved in the process, and ensure compliance with the SPSO Act 2002.

Our investigation reports provide full details of the investigations we have completed, along with an executive summary. They review the evidence that we considered and explain how we made our decision.

Our decision summaries provide information about investigations we have decided to discontinue. They provide a summary of the case and why we decided not to continue with our investigation. Where appropriate, they also include feedback provided to the organisation.

All the information we publish on individual cases is carefully formulated to ensure nobody involved in the case can be identified, either directly or indirectly.
