Information to whistle-blowers
A whistleblower is a natural person who provides information about a possible violation that may harm public interests, if the person believes the information to be true and has obtained it while performing work duties, establishing legal relationships related to the performance of work duties, or during an internship, and who may face adverse consequences for providing this information.
Whistleblowing is not the dissemination of false information, reporting of personal grievances, or disclosure of information containing state secrets.
Before blowing the whistle, answer these 3 questions!
Are you a whistleblower?
You have information about a possible violation that may harm public interests. This information has been obtained while performing work duties. You have reason to believe that this information is true. There is a risk that you may suffer adverse consequences if you report it.
Do you know what a violation is?
A violation is a criminal offense, an administrative offense, or another breach of legal norms (an act or omission), including conduct contrary to the purpose of a legal act, as well as violations of binding ethical or professional standards.
Do you have relevant information?
You can blow the whistle on a violation regardless of the field in which you work. At the same time, the law identifies 22 particularly important areas where violations pose a threat to public interests. A whistleblower must act responsibly and thoughtfully, providing information they believe to be true and which indicates a possible violation.
