Too many people are left unprotected when harm occurs.

Purpose & Clarity
Our focus spans the full landscape of safety and justice. We investigate how public bodies respond to victims, how investigations progress in practice, how safeguarding decisions are made, how laws are implemented, and how vulnerable groups are treated within the justice system.

Why Did it Happen
Every review follows the same structure: what happened, why it happened, and what should have happened. Our findings support the public, inform professionals, and contribute to improvements in policy and practice.
Where evidence reveals systemic gaps, our work also informs parliamentary engagement, policy consultation, and discussion around necessary changes in law. Accountability is not optional; it is a form of protection.
Independent, Evidence-Based Scrutiny
Public-Interest Advocacy
Advocacy sits at the core of our watchdog mission. Where evidence identifies serious concern, we challenge councils, housing providers, and justice agencies when action or inaction places people at risk. We escalate matters to MPs, commissioners, and relevant government bodies where policy gaps or outdated procedures cause harm.
Our advocacy is evidence-led and grounded in real cases. We identify patterns of failure, set out practical solutions, and support people to understand their rights, escalate complaints, and navigate official processes. This work also contributes to legislative scrutiny, policy development, and reform.
Alongside this, we publish independent reports examining critical safety, justice, and community issues across the UK. These publications combine research, data, and frontline insight to expose gaps that place people at risk and to set out clear, evidence-based steps for strengthening protection and community safety.
