The form asks for 14 details. The document fills itself in as you type.
For example: Northfield Foods Ltd
For example: 1 January 2031
For example: Maria Costa, Compliance Officer
One group per line.
For example: Employees, agents, contractors, temporary workers, volunteers and former staff
One per line.
For example: Fraud or theft Bribery or corruption Safety dangers Breaking the law Damage to the environment Harassment or discrimination Covering up any of these
Give at least two ways, one outside the line manager.
For example: To your manager, or To the Compliance Officer at compliance@northfield.example, or On the independent hotline at the number on the staff board, available 24 hours, in several languages
For example: You may report without giving your name. We will still look into it, but we may find it harder to follow up.
What a good report holds.
For example: What happened, when, where, who was involved, and any evidence you have. You do not need proof, only a reasonable belief.
Use time limits you can keep.
For example: We confirm receipt within 7 days. A person not involved in the issue looks into it. We tell you what we can about the outcome within 3 months.
Plain and strong.
For example: No one will be punished, dismissed, demoted or treated unfairly for a report made in good faith, even if it turns out to be mistaken. Retaliation is a disciplinary matter.
For example: Your identity is shared only with people who need to know, or where the law requires it.
For example: Knowingly false reports made to cause harm may lead to disciplinary action.
Add the names of authorities that apply to you.
For example: If you do not feel able to use these routes, or the concern is not dealt with, you may report to the proper authority. Ask the Compliance Officer if you are unsure which.
For example: Reports are kept securely for 6 years. The board reviews numbers and trends each year.
