Strengthening our Culture
IGS Partners with Say So for Independent Speak Up Services
IGS believes that an open, transparent, and safe workplace is part of an important foundation of our success. To further our commitment to our values, we are pleased to announce our partnership with Say So, an independent and impartial reporting platform that allows our team members to raise concerns with total peace of mind.
Why Say So?
Say So is a specialist service designed to bridge the gap between employees and organisations through honest facilitation. Unlike internal reporting lines, Say So operates entirely independently of IGS. Their objective is to get to the heart of workplace issues, no matter how challenging, to ensure that the "truth matters" and that positive change can occur.
The platform is managed by experts with extensive backgrounds in complex investigations and safeguarding. This expertise ensures that every report is handled with the highest level of professional care and sensitivity.
Your Voice, Your Choice
One of the most significant benefits of Say So is the flexibility and protection it offers our staff. When using the service, you have three distinct options regarding identity:
Fully Open: You identify yourself to both Say So and IGS.
Confidential: You share your details with Say So only, they will not release your identity to us without your explicit permission.
Totally Anonymous: You pass on information without providing any identifying details. Say So pledges never to try to identify an anonymous reporter.
By providing these secure channels via their secure 0800 free-call line or their encrypted online portal, we are ensuring that every member of the IGS team has a voice that will be heard in a safe environment.
Our Commitment to Action
Embedding Say So into our operational model is not just about having a reporting line, it is about our proactive desire to maintain the highest standards. By working with an independent provider, IGS is demonstrating a clear commitment to uncovering and addressing risks early, whether they relate to safety, conduct, or workplace culture.

A Message from Darren Bradley, Associate Director
“I am incredibly pleased to confirm that we have now fully embedded the Say So "Speak Up" service into the IGS operational model. This is a significant milestone for IGS, and we warmly welcome the rollout of this feature across all our projects, both within the UK and internationally.
For me, this partnership represents a vital step in our journey to enhance our culture of integrity and mutual respect. I have always believed that our greatest asset is our people, and protecting our people means creating an environment where everyone feels safe to speak their truth. Having Say So in place drives genuine confidence across our teams and delivers the reassurance that every voice carries weight.
We take our culture and working environment very seriously. It is not a static goal but a process of constant evolution, we continually monitor, review, evaluate, and learn. Using an independent platform like Say So provides us with a key area for continuous development, allowing us to learn from feedback and always strive to improve.
I recognise that it can sometimes be daunting to raise a concern through traditional management lines. By introducing an independent partner like Say So, we are removing those barriers. It provides me with great confidence to know that our staff have a secure, external professional organisation to turn to and one that guarantees anonymity and handles sensitive information with the rigour and complete understanding.
This service is now a cornerstone of how we operate globally. It ensures that senior management is kept informed of the realities on the ground, allowing us to act decisively to improve our workplace and protect our values. I encourage everyone to familiarise themselves with the Say So platform and trust that your voice is not only welcomed but essential to our continuous improvement.”
