Whistleblowing refers to an employee raising concerns about practices or procedures in their workplace. The document outlines that it is an employee's responsibility to report any risks, wrongdoings, or malpractices. Unacceptable behaviors that warrant whistleblowing include abuse of children or vulnerable people, unsafe working conditions, or criminal acts. The organization is committed to dealing responsibly with genuine concerns and employees should report issues to their manager, a senior manager, or the executive assistant to the CEO.
