Details
In a discipline that requires considerable legal and technical knowledge, and practical interpersonal and communication skills, Investigating MADE SIMPLE clearly identifies and focuses on the various competencies involved in ensuring an effective investigation and in avoiding legal and ethical pitfalls. The book is aimed at people undertaking investigations as part of their work role or those undertaking formal training programs as a means of enhancing their overall competence in the discipline.

While the content is presented in a generic style, it is both accurate and consistent with industry best practice. The examples are based on actual workplace problems and scenarios, and reflect suggestions and feedback from administrators and practitioners, and students in the industry, as well as the extensive personal practical and academic experience of the author. The accuracy and quality of the content has been validated by a number of industry experts who have vouched for its relevance and currency, as well as learners who have positively evaluated the book.

Investigating MADE SIMPLE effectively reflects key principles of good practice in adult education. It is clearly and logically presented in a reader-friendly style and terminology to facilitate understanding of abstract concepts to work-related tasks. Practical examples, illustrations and a comprehensive glossary of terminology serve to clarify, explain and reinforce abstract concepts. In an area of work that is fraught with complexity and uncertainties, it encourages learners to learn “how” to think rather than “what” to think by examining underlying issues, values, as well as legal, ethical and practical considerations.
