Whistleblow scheme
All of us at one time or another have concerns about what is
happening:
- at work
- within a particular organisation
- within the community.
Usually these concerns are easily resolved. However, when they
are about serious malpractice like financial irregularities,
dangerous working conditions, discrimination or fraud, it can be
difficult to know what to do.
Use our online Whistleblow form
You can
now report your concerns using our Whistleblow online form
here.

You may be worried about raising such issues or may want to keep
concerns to yourself, perhaps feeling that it is none of your
business or that it's only a suspicion. You may feel that raising
your concern would be disloyal to colleagues, managers or the
organisation.
You may decide to say something but find that you have spoken to
the wrong person or raised the issue in the wrong way.
As an Authority we would rather that you felt able to raise your
concerns, in confidence, at an early stage so that they can be
looked into. The whistleblow scheme enables you to do this.
The publication on this page, which can be accessed via the
link below, will tell you about the scheme and the procedure
to follow if you have a concern that you wish to raise.
