Introduction
BrisDoc strives for a culture of openness and transparency involving all colleagues irrespective of role. BrisDoc recognises the utmost importance of enabling colleagues to safely raise concerns of malpractice, negligence, criminal activity, fraud, misconduct, or wrongdoing by anyone in the workforce. Those who do raise such concerns, known as “whistle-blowers” or “those speaking out”, are considered an asset to BrisDoc and not a threat.
It is the duty of every colleague to speak up about genuine concerns. BrisDoc is therefore committed to ensuring that any concerns of this nature will be taken seriously and investigated. A disclosure to BrisDoc will be protected if the member of staff has an honest and reasonable suspicion that malpractice has occurred, is occurring or is likely to occur. Colleagues who raise concerns reasonably and responsibly will not be penalised in any way.
