Whistleblowing

Whistleblowing is a way for employees, and other council workers, including councillors, agency staff, contractors, suppliers, plus staff working in partnership with the council, to raise a genuine concern about danger or illegality, usually because it threatens others (e.g. customers, or the public).

The council is committed to the highest possible standards of openness, propriety and integrity. In line with this commitment, employees and other council workers with serious concerns are encouraged to come forward and voice those concerns.

The Whistleblowing Hotline number is 01394 444222. A voicemail message greets all calls and you are requested to leave a message and your contact details.
