CHARTERED ORGANISATIONAL PSYCHOLOGISTS CAN CONDUCT WORKPLACE INVESTIGATIONS FOR ORGANISATIONS.

Recent case law has concluded that external workplace investigators should have their activities regulated under an act. People not regulated another act need to be licenced under the Private Security Personnel and Private Investigators Act 2010.
