To raise concern under these whistleblowing arrangements please contact Wayne Ellis (see the contact details at the end of this policy).
When making an allegation it is helpful to us if you would provide as much information and supporting evidence as possible to inform and support any investigation we carry out.
It is not essential to have clear evidence before making an allegation under this policy, but you will need to explain, as fully as you can, the nature of the allegation or circumstances that give rise to your concerns.
We will always aim to keep the identity of the person making the allegations confidential where asked to do so, although we cannot guarantee this. We may need to disclose their identity should the allegation lead to issues that need to be taken forward by other parties such as:
If the investigation results in a proven case of malpractice or maladministration, we will take action against the relevant parties in accordance with our Malpractice and Maladministration Policy.
If the allegation is not proven by the investigation, provided the whistle-blower did not deliberately raise an allegation which they knew to be untrue, no action will be taken against them.
If the allegation was made due to a genuine misunderstanding, the individual(s) (e.g. centre personnel, candidate) who have been the subject of the investigation will be expected to bear no malice or ill feeling towards their accuser. The Head of Centre must ensure that centre personnel do not mistreat the whistle-blower.
