About the service

Since 1989, our diverse group of highly experienced Independent Persons have been bringing added value to any complaints investigation. The degree of impartiality they offer to the complaints process ensures that the work is robust as well as fair. Feedback confirms the standard of their reports is consistently high. 

Our Independent Persons have been selected, trained and DBS checked in accordance with Coram Voice’s rigorous procedures. They receive case discussion and support from Coram Voice and the wider Coram Group, including peer support sessions, ongoing training, and access to advice via Coram Children’s Legal Centre.  All of their work is quality assured.

We are also able to provide Investigating Officers and Independent Chairs and Panel Members for Stage 3 panels.
