How we handle evidence and confidentiality
External cases remain attributed to their original sources. Client-supplied information is used within agreed permissions, with anonymisation where required. Published outcomes are distinguished from our analysis and proposed actions; another organisation’s results are not presented as Tresswell’s results or as a promise of the same outcome.
