Whistleblowers policy

Whistleblowers company policy regarding raising concerns of malpractice and suspicions concerning misconduct.

Purpose and scope

The Employment Rights Act 1996 protects workers from being dismissed or otherwise penalised by their employer for reporting malpractices or wrongdoing within the workplace. The Company intends to promote an open and accountable work culture.

The Company recognises the negative effect which malpractice can have on the organisation, and therefore encourages you to raise genuine concerns, or any suspicions you may have concerning misconduct.
