Whistleblowing

Maldon District Council is committed to the highest possible standards of openness, probity and accountability.

In line with that commitment the Council expects Members, employees, and others that we deal with, who have serious concerns about any aspect of the Council’s work to come forward and voice those concerns.

Although the Council has set in place rules, regulations, quality standards and procedures to ensure that the highest standards of conduct and commitment to service are observed, it recognises that malpractice can occur.

The Council is not prepared to tolerate any such malpractice in the performance and delivery of its services.
This policy note makes it clear that staff can do so without fear of victimisation, subsequent discrimination or disadvantage.
