Whistleblowing
You're a 'whistleblower' if you're a worker and you report certain types of wrong-doing you've seen at work.
The wrong-doing you disclose must be in the public interest. This means it must affect others – for example, the general public.
As a whistleblower you're protected by law – you won't be treated unfairly or lose your job because you 'blow the whistle'.
You can raise your concern at any time about an incident that:
- happened in the past
- is happening now
- you believe will happen in the near future
Our whistleblowing policy and procedures for employees can be downloaded below.
