Whistleblowing

Whistleblowing for employees


Safeguarding is everyone’s business but how do you report a concern and how are you supported by your employer?


Whistleblowing is the disclosure of information regarding wrong doing and how you are protected by law as an employee. The Whistleblowing process is used by your employer to support you to disclose wrong doing as a matter of public interest. This process is used if you are an employee, trainee/student or agency worker and concerns can be raised with managers to include historic and present information.

 

Question?
Do you know where your Whistleblowing policy is and have you read it?
