Your Contact Details

The RA’s practice is not to share details of the identity of complainants (or information that could reasonably be expected to reveal the identity of a complainant) with the subject of the complaint, without the prior consent of the complainant.

Confidentiality

The RA does receive and assess complaints received on an anonymous basis. However, we note that complaints made on an anonymous basis may limit the RA’s ability to assess and where appropriate take action in relation to any concerns raised in a complaint.

In assessing your complaint it may be necessary to contact the entity or person you have complained about. Do you consent to the RA disclosing your name to the person you have complained about? *

Yes

Do you wish to submit your Complaint as a Whistleblowing Report and to remain anonymous? *

Yes

Note: Any information that you share with us will be stored securely and we limit access to this information. Whilst it is not mandatory for you to submit your contact details (name, address, email address for example) it would be helpful to have your contact details because there are times when we may need to ask you more questions or follow up on the information you have provided. Nevertheless, we will accept and process your information if you prefer to remain anonymous.

We will process any reports made anonymously in accordance with our complaints handling procedures. An acknowledgement of receipt will be provided to an anonymous complainant who has given us valid contact information, but no further information will be given thereafter.

Further information on how the RA handles Whistleblowing Reports can be found in the Whistleblower Protection Regulations 2024.
