  • Responsible Investigator Program (IC Edition)

Capability Building Beyond Compliance

This program is designed for IC members who understand that PoSH investigations are not administrative tasks — they are acts of responsibility, judgement, and ethical decision-making.

Who Should Attend

This program is ideal for professionals who want to conduct credible, confident, and legally defensible PoSH investigations.
  • Presiding Officers and Internal Committee Members handling complaints, inquiries, and hearings
  • HR Leaders and Employee Relations professionals supporting IC proceedings
  • External IC Members seeking deeper investigative competence
  • ICs struggling with complex, sensitive, or grey-area cases
  • Committees wanting to move beyond SOPs into sound judgement
  • Organisations that want ICs who inspire trust and withstand legal scrutiny

Why Learn from Aparna Gonate

  • Extensive hands-on investigation experience across complex PoSH cases
  • Deep command over the PoSH Act, 2013 and judicial interpretations
  • A trauma-informed, survivor-centred inquiry approach
  • An ethical investigation style balancing fairness, sensitivity, and due process
  • The ability to train ICs to think, question, and decide — not merely document

What You Will Take Away

  • Understand their true role and accountability as PoSH investigators
  • Apply the legal framework with practical judgement, not mechanical compliance
  • Conduct trauma-informed inquiries without compromising natural justice
  • Investigate cases even when there is no direct evidence or witnesses
  • Handle complex, emotionally charged, and high-risk complaints
  • Identify and manage biases, assumptions, and judgement traps
  • Ask the right questions during interviews and hearings
