About

Founder - Ali Remzi Abus

When safeguarding concerns escalate, clarity matters.

I founded ARA Investigations to help schools, charities, housing providers, and care services handle serious complaints and misconduct issues with calm, independent support — not panic, blame, or delay.

My approach is impartial, trauma-aware, and always focused on protecting those at risk. I don’t investigate to judge — I investigate to understand what happened, uncover the truth, and give leadership the confidence to act.

I trained and served as a police constable in the Met, specialising in child protection, domestic abuse, community safety, and offender management. I’ve led or supported 500+ safeguarding-related interviews, working with victims, professionals, and alleged perpetrators.

I also managed night shelters in the charity sector, which shaped my dignified and practical approach to people in crisis.
