Employee Absentees

We believe we are one of the most experienced and front running agencies in the uk now dealing with this problem in industry.

Have you noticed a few empty chairs in your office? Industry loses billions of pounds every year through staff sickness with the average British worker taking 7.2 extra days off per year.

Of course the majority of absenteeism is genuine, however unwarranted "long weekends" and staff "pulling sickies" threatens a company's ability to cover the cost of these absences.

This is where we can help. We can and have dealt with extreme examples such as subjects who are carrying out home improvements, renovating their cars, doing private work elsewhere or even having a second life and possibly their own business elsewhere.

Once you determined that you have enough hearsay or advice from multiple or independent ways you may then decided to employ us.

We will normally liaise with only one contact at the company and will guide that contact through the initial early period in when we will validate the enquiry and the work of the clients before it comes to us, we may suggest that you run an impact assessment and that you supply us with as much relevant information as possible.

We will then asses the situation and instruct the right course to uncover the truth, we will work to set time and date restraints and we will require to only report on what is relevant for our client and position that the subject holds, we would not in any circumstance rely on just information from a third party and we would Endeavour to establish ourselves any misdemeanors.

Any assignment undertaken is always handled discreetly and usually can involve unobtrusive surveillance. It may also warrant background research or a combination of many other different skills. But rest assured that all evidence will be collated in a manner that is presentable in a Court or Industrial Tribunal.

And will be within the restraints of the data protection law and good practice recommendations part 3.

Parent Search

It is often the fear of hurting the adoptive parents that is the reason that many do not look for answers. Many feel that this could harm the relationship with the adopted parents. However in most cases the bond with the adoptive parents is very strong and most at the time of adoption understand that the day will arrive when the child will grow up and need answers to their background.

It is essential however that the search is carried out sympathetically and with discretion. We also offer advice on the possible consequences of a search and difficult changes that could arise. It is very important that the search is carried out with the individuals understanding that the answers they get may not turn out to be the ones they craved. We can also offer support and guidance at the time of the reunion and even accompany the individual if they wish.

It is also important to understand that searching for a birth parent can be very simple but in some cases very time consuming. We will try to give you an indication of the complexity of the case on our first meeting or discussion.

It is common for an individual to want to know and understand their roots and their past.

Children who are adopted often grow up without this knowledge which can leave the feeling that something is missing despite having a loving environment with their adopted parents.

Property Verification/Neighbourhood Check

We can provide a comprehensive check to verify the suitability of a domestic or commercial area before you waste your time and money moving to an undesirable location.

With crime on the increase, and with you making one of the biggest decisions of your life, our discreet location search will provide details regarding the quality of the local schools and infrastructure. It will also highlight, amongst other things, whether there are any ongoing neighbourhood disputes, maybe parking problems, incidents of crime/drug use or soliciting in the area (physical checks made), or perhaps highlight the fact that one or two of the properties have had several residents in a short period of time, and why that may be.

Our agents will work locally with the case and will be sent out over a period of 5-10 days unless an urgent report is needed. They will check for situations that may arise at different times of the day or night, for example how is traffic and parking in the early evening, is that a rowdy pub at closing time or is it a nice addition to the area?

You can speak to one of our specialised agents in complete confidence and they will be able to offer a tailor-made neighbourhood check to suit your requirements. Prices for this service start at £195 and will ensure complete peace of mind.
