Introduction to Whistleblowing
Whistleblowing is the term used when a person passes on information concerning wrongdoing, such as fraud. The wrongdoing is typically (though not necessarily) something they have witnessed at work.
Prior to reporting your concerns, ensure you read the Whistleblowing Policy and Whistleblowing Guidance. The policy provides protection for individuals who make such disclosures in good faith and explains how these will be investigated.
If you are uncertain about using the Whistleblowing Policy or if it is the right one read our short guidance note on Raising Concerns (which includes information on bullying and harassment).
Providing contact details for any whistleblowing allegation helps us clarify information and request evidence to support the investigation if required. Concerns raised anonymously will be considered but this will depend on the credibility of the information provided as seeking further information will not be possible.
