ClinyQAi are specialist workplace investigation and EDI consultants for the NHS and healthcare sector. We resolve grievances, support investigators, and help organisations meet their duties under the Equality Act 2010.
Whether you need an independent investigation, a quality review of an existing process, or someone to guide your internal team through a complex case, our experienced consultants are here to help.
Before you issue an outcome letter, let us stress-test your draft investigation report. We evaluate the evidence against the full Equality Act framework, the ACAS Code of Practice and relevant NHS standards, identifying gaps that could expose the organisation at tribunal.
We support your internal investigators behind the scenes. This includes organising documents, mapping chronologies, preparing legally precise interview schedules and ensuring ACAS procedural compliance at every stage.
If a case is heading to the Employment Tribunal, we provide a frank, data-informed assessment of your organisation's exposure, covering Vento band liability, burden of proof analysis and third-party harassment risks.
For sensitive or complex grievances, particularly those involving allegations of systemic race, disability or sex discrimination, we conduct thorough, impartial investigations grounded in the Equality Act.
We work at the intersection of employment law, NHS policy, and the expert evidence base on race and workplace equality.
