Reporting Errors

We are all human, and errors can sometimes occur. When mistakes happen, it’s crucial to be honest and identify where errors have occurred. This will enable:

Taking actions that may lessen the impact of the mistake.

Learning valuable lessons by reflecting on and agreeing upon what went wrong.

Whistleblowing

Your employer should provide or explain their whistleblowing policy. You have a responsibility to report things that you believe are not correct, are illegal, or if anyone at work is neglecting their duties. This is referred to as ‘whistleblowing’. In most cases, you should discuss your concerns with your manager. However, if you feel that it was not appropriate to speak to your manager for some reason, you should follow your employer’s whistleblowing procedure and ways of working.
