Safe & supported reporting

To encourage trust amongst your employees and signal that your organisation is committed to addressing harmful and inappropriate behaviour, it is essential that there are clear and accessible reporting channels.

Recommendations for action

Here are four recommendations on how your organisation can embed safe and supported reporting of harmful and inappropriate behaviour:

Ensure all reporting procedures are transparent and accessible

All employees should be aware of your organisation’s reporting procedures. Provide all employees with full and comprehensive information about how they can report inappropriate behaviour. It should be easy to find and in an accessible format.

Provide the ability to report inappropriate behaviour anonymously

Using an online portal. It can be difficult for people to come forward and it’s common for people to believe they might become a target if they report inappropriate behaviour. Anonymous reporting gives everyone the ability to make a report without fear of retaliation.

Provide support for those affected

Consider putting together a bespoke list of resources about where people can access support both within your organisation or through external support services such as local or national charities. You may also have a designated member of staff to offer support (for example, a sexual harassment liaison officer).
