We understand that when you supply information to us, it may have an effect on your relationship with the person or organisation that you are reporting, particularly if this is your employer.
It is useful for us to have your contact details in case we need to ask you for more information, but you can choose to be anonymous when reporting concerns to us.
We will treat your information as sensitive and seek to protect your identity. We will not disclose your information or identity except when lawfully required to do so or where, after careful consideration, we decide it is essential to do so in the course of an investigation or to take regulatory action. This would only happen in very limited and exceptional cases. Where we consider that such disclosure may be necessary, we will usually consult you beforehand.
