(Material scope of application)
Steps
Reporting
The Whistleblower (the author of the report) completes the online reporting form* on this website (the address of which has in principle been communicated by the organisation to which he/she belongs). Reporting is subject to important confidentiality measures and the whistleblower's anonymity is guaranteed, only WhistleLine knows the Whistleblower's identity.
(*) Other channels are possible, such as a reserved telephone number.
Receipt and protection
The Whistleblower receives an acknowledgement of receipt from WhistleLine who will accompany the Whistleblower throughout the procedure. A facilitator* is appointed for this purpose. As soon as the Whistleblower makes their report, he or she is protected against any disciplinary, discriminatory or retaliatory measures from the organisation. Confidential exchanges between WhistleLine and the Whistleblower allow the file to be completed. These exchanges are end-to-end encrypted.
(*) The facilitator is a member of the WhistleLine (recommended solution) or is appointed by the organisation. WhistleLine facilitators are subject to professional secrecy and trained specifically for this task.
Resolution
WhistleLine contacts the organisation as part of the investigation of the report while guaranteeing the anonymity of the Whistleblower.
