Whistleblowing is when you suspect someone is doing something wrong, and you report it to someone in the organisation in a position of authority. The whistleblowing facility exists for members of staff. Members of the public can also report any cases of wrongdoing which they believe are being committed across the Shetland Islands. Examples include Council Tax Reduction Scheme fraud, tenancy fraud and misuse of public funds. The purpose of the Whistleblowing and Response Policy is to advise you about the ways cases of wrongdoing can be reported and how we will deal with it.
