IFG is committed to acting with integrity, transparency and accountability, and to maintaining a culture where concerns about serious wrongdoing can be raised safely and responsibly. This policy explains how students, staff and others connected with IFG can report concerns that are in the public interest, such as illegal, unethical or unsafe practices, without fear of disadvantage or retaliation.
Whistleblowing is different from making a personal complaint. It is intended for situations where someone believes that serious wrongdoing may be taking place, for example relating to health and safety, discrimination, financial misconduct, safeguarding, or breaches of legal or regulatory requirements. IFG will treat concerns seriously, investigate them fairly and impartially, and protect confidentiality wherever possible. Individuals who raise concerns in good faith will be supported and will not be penalised for speaking up.
This policy sets out how to raise a whistleblowing concern, what happens after a concern is reported, and the protections available under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998. It also explains when concerns may need to be referred to external bodies. IFG’s approach is designed to promote trust, ensure accountability, and protect the wellbeing and interests of the IFG community.
