Fraud and whistleblowing

Important:

Draft — awaiting legal review

This page is a draft and is awaiting review by a qualified professional. It does not yet reflect a final legal position and should not be relied upon.

If you believe something dishonest is happening in our name, please tell us. Charities depend on trust, and trust depends on people being willing to speak up.

Raising a concern

You can raise a concern about fraud, dishonesty, or serious wrongdoing. You do not need proof, and you do not need to be certain.

To raise a concern, email the address on our contact page.

Confidentiality

We will handle your concern confidentially wherever we can, and we will be honest with you where we cannot.

No retaliation

Nobody will be penalised for raising a genuine concern, whether or not it turns out to be founded. Retaliation would itself be a serious matter.

What we do with it

We investigate proportionately, involve the trustees where appropriate, and report to the authorities where we are required to.

A separate reporting route is not published yet

There is currently no separate route for a concern about the person who receives these reports, and there is no anonymous reporting route.
