Whistleblowing: there have been NO significant cases reported to the Board, Risk and Compliance committee or the Audi Risk and Compliance committee in the last 5 years.
The General Counsel is responsible to the Board for ensuring Post Office meets its whistleblowing obligations.
The Whistleblowing policy says:
Workers should raise a concern if they are aware of, or suspect, wrongdoing which affects others (e.g. customers, members of the public, colleagues or the Post Office).
Some examples (this is a non-exhaustive list) of situations where a worker may raise a concern are:
• Financial Crime including Fraud, Money Laundering and financing of terrorism, Bribery and Corruption,
• Giving, offering or taking of bribes,
• Financial mismanagement,
• Misreporting,
• Practices that could put individuals or the environment at risk,
• Breach of Post Office internal policies and procedures (including the Code of Business Standards),
• Concerns about slavery or human trafficking, and
• Any conduct likely to damage Post Office’s reputation.
