Our Whistleblowing Policy
If a colleague who you work with is guilty of malpractice it is very difficult to know what to do. It is very easy to do nothing and look the other way? After all this is one of your colleagues and not really any of your business. On the other hand if you do you report it are you worried that you are being disloyal to a friend and causing trouble.
At Allied Healthcare, we are committed to providing the highest standard of care and support to both our clients and staff and take any reports of wrongdoing within the Company very seriously.
Our Whistleblowing policy has been written to ensure that all reported incidents are investigated in a fair, sensitive and confidential manner where individuals can act without fear of retaliation and humiliation, that others will not consider the act trivial and unacceptable and more importantly will be taken seriously and confident that action will be taken.
The policy provides guidance to all our staff on how to report misdemeanours or malpractice within the company including (but not exhaustively):
- Criminal offences
- Failure to comply with legal obligations and Company policies
- Falsifying records
- Any type of abuse
- Endangering someone’s health and safety
If you have any concerns about malpractice in the workplace, even if you cannot provide proof it, we want to know. Please refer any allegations to either your Line Manager (if you work for Allied) or the HR Department or CEO.
Alternatively you can phone our confidential hotline on Tel: 01785 827736 and email inconfidence@alliedhealthcare.com. All reports will be investigated independently and treated with the strictest of confidence.
