PUBLIC INTEREST DISCLOSURE (WHISTLEBLOWING) POLICY

This policy is intended to assist individuals who believe they may have discovered malpractice

or impropriety. This policy is designed to allow employees or other members of the University to

raise concerns or to disclose information which the individual believes shows malpractice.

A number of policies and procedures are already in place within the University including fraud

prevention; grievance and complaints; discipline; dignity and respect. This policy is not intended

to replace these other procedures but, rather, is intended to cover concerns which are in the

public interest and may (at least initially) be investigated separately but might then lead to the

invocation of such procedures. These concerns might include:

• Financial malpractice, impropriety, fraud or theft

• Corruption, bribery or blackmail

• Failure to comply with a legal obligation or with the Statutes, Ordinances and

Regulations of the University

• Dangers to health and safety or the environment

• Criminal activity

• A miscarriage of justice

• Academic or professional malpractice

• Improper conduct or unethical behaviour

Anonymous Allegations

This policy encourages individuals to put their name to any disclosures they make. Concerns

expressed anonymously are much less powerful, but they will be considered at the discretion of

the University. In exercising this discretion, the factors to be taken into account will include:

- the seriousness of the issues raised;

- the credibility of the concern; and

- the likelihood of confirming the allegation from attributable sources

Independent Advice

If anyone has concerns about raising such matters, or if they wish further advice, then they can

contact the Head of Internal Audit. If they would prefer to speak to someone outwith the

University then they can contact Public Concern at Work for free, confidential advice on 020

7404 6609 or at helpline@pcaw.co.uk. Or they may visit Public Concern at Work’s website at

Yeah, you're not going to get any help from him. I go to Strathclyde. He's well known for being a scum fan. Also gives himself the highest wage of any academic principal in Scotland. Man's an absolute wank.

http://www.strath.ac.uk/media/ps/comms/documents/Code_of_Practice_-_Conflicts_of_Interest.pdf

A conflict of interest is a situation where the personal interest of an employee is likely to

appear to influence the objective exercise of an aspect(s) of his/her duties as an

employee of the University. It should be noted that a conflict of interest may be

perceived, potential or actual, and that all such scenarios fall within the scope of this

Code of Practice.

A perceived conflict of interest is a situation which a reasonable person would consider

likely to compromise objectivity.

A potential conflict of interest is a situation which could develop into an actual or

perceived conflict of interest.

Situations giving rise to actual or perceived conflicts of interest are many and varied. It is

not possible to define all circumstances which may give rise to a conflict of interest, but

the following examples are identified to provide some guidance (this list is not

exhaustive):

i. The use of any of the University’s facilities to pursue an employee’s business,

commercial, or consulting activities of a personal nature;

ii. An employee conducting business, employment or activity outwith the University

which adversely affects his/her ability to perform his/her duties as specified in

their University contract of employment, or affects their actual performance;

iii. An employee using his/her University position to influence a contract or other

favourable terms for a company or business in which he/she, or a partner,

spouse, near relative (e.g. dependent children) or friend has a financial interest;

iv. A financial interest held by an employee, or his/her partner, spouse, near relative

or friend, in an external enterprise engaged in activities closely related to that

individual’s line of work or research in the University. This includes paid

consultancies, paid service on a board of directors or advisory board, or equity

holdings in or royalty income from the enterprise;Code of Practice on Conflicts of Interest

3

v. An employee using his/her position to influence the employment, promotion,

admission to a course of study, educational progression or other financial or nonfinancial benefit for a partner, spouse, near relative or friend;

vi. An employee using his/her influence to obtain financial or non-financial benefit for

him/herself or for a partner, spouse, near relative or friend in return for providing

an advantage, whether financial or non-financial, which is to the disadvantage of

the University;

vii. An employee who attempts to restrict rights governing the timing and content of

publications, except in instances properly approved by the University to protect

privacy, commercially sensitive proprietary information, or patentable inventions;

viii. An employee involved in externally funded activity which might infringe the right

of a student engaged in the activity to complete the degree for which he/she is

registered, and/or to publish freely his/her findings (except in circumstances

identified at vii above).

There are in addition certain circumstances which the University considers give rise to

clear conflicts of interest and so it has adopted specific policies and procedures for these

circumstances For example, further information relating to work for outside bodies and

personal consultancies is available o
