Confidential Reporting (Whistleblowing) Policy - External disclosures

5.1 The aim of this policy is to provide an internal mechanism for reporting, investigating and remedying any wrongdoing in the workplace. In most cases you should not find it necessary to alert anyone externally. 

5.2 The law recognises that in some circumstances it may be appropriate for you to report your concerns to an external body such as a regulator. We strongly encourage you to seek advice before reporting a concern to anyone external to ensure that you do not disclose confidential information. 

5.3 "Protect" operates an independent and confidential helpline. Their contact details are at the end of this policy along with a list of other possible contact points.
