Are you looking for advice about reporting wrongdoing?
Requests for advice made to the Ombudsperson are confidential.
The Ombudsperson can give you information about the process for reporting wrongdoing or reprisal, explain our procedure for analyzing and investigating allegations, explain what wrongdoing and reprisal are, and give you details about how you are protected. You can also contact your supervisor or designated officer for advice.
The Ombudsperson does not give advice about your legal liability for involvement in wrongdoing or other legal issues. Questions about these matters are for a lawyer you hire for that purpose.
If you’re considering making a disclosure but want to talk about it first, you can seek advice from:
union/employee assoc. representative

a lawyer
your supervisor
your Designated Officer

the Ombudsperson
