Whistleblowing

If you have witnessed wrongdoing -such as fraud - you can report it through our whistleblowing process. This typically, though not always, relates to something you have seen at work.

Before you report

Read the following documents before submitting a concern:

• Whistleblowing policy - explains how disclosures are handled and the protection available to you if you report in good faith.
• Whistleblowing guidance - outlines what to expect when making a report.
• Raising Concerns guidance - helps you decide if whistleblowing is the right route and includes information on bullying and harassment.
