What should whistleblowers do if they experience detrimental treatment as a result of making a disclosure?
The Council is determined to protect whistleblowers from detriment. Detriment is negative treatment that a whistleblower experiences as a result of making a disclosure. Examples of this might be denying training opportunities, bullying or aggressive behaviour, demotion etc.
It is vital for a healthy culture that colleagues feel comfortable about raising concerns and for those concerns to be listened to and responded to.
If a whistleblower feels they have suffered detriment as a result of making a disclosure it is recommended that this is reported immediately to the Monitoring Officer or Safecall by emailing the Whistleblowing Team at whistleblowing@edinburgh.gov.uk or Safecall at cec@safecall.co.uk or by calling Safecall on 0800 587 8770.
