Public interest disclosures

We receive, from time to time, a range of allegations of financial irregularity or impropriety, mismanagement, waste and fraud in higher education institutions, from a variety of sources.

We welcome these allegations insofar as they are brought to our attention in good faith and relate to our statutory functions.

Our public interest disclosure, or whistleblowing, procedure has been in existence for a number of years and it has served to guide us in dealing with allegations received. The policy and procedure are available below. The procedure requires people to submit their complaint, in a prescribed format, to the Head of Knowledge and Information Management.

Our procedure for dealing with allegations can be downloaded below.
