Whistleblowing policy

Whistleblowing Procedures and Guidance - Confidentiality

6.1 We recognise that you may wish to raise a concern in confidence.

6.2 We will not disclose your identity without your consent. If we cannot proceed without revealing your identity (for instance where your evidence may be required in court), we will discuss with you how or if we can proceed.

6.3 Please remember that if you do not tell us who you are then it may make it much more difficult to investigate your concern, protect your position or give you feedback. We will consider anonymous reports, but this policy is not ideally suited to such occasions, and we would prefer to know who you are and then keep your identity confidential if you wish.
