Large Scale Enquiries

Niche have developed methods of undertaking Large Scale Enquiries which means that we can extract conclusions, judgements and recommendations in a much more agile way than in, for example, a public inquiry.

Taking less time does not mean that our findings are any less robust; it simply means that we are able to mobilise our method, team and stakeholder relationships sooner, with less public resource requirement and significantly less cost to the public purse.

We use tested analytical techniques around big data, and have specific quantitative and qualitative methods to establish indicators and evidence around harms, consultant and service level quality data, financial impacts and experience impacts. Our large scale reviews have repeatedly been shown to stand up to legal and public scrutiny, whilst surfacing the facts surrounding events where there may be several victims. We work on the basis of acknowledging ‘concentric’ harms, focusing not only on those immediately affected by the events but those surrounding the event too.
