Welcome to the dedicated section for Peace by Youth’s (PY) Whistleblowing Policy. In our relentless pursuit of transparency, integrity, and accountability, this policy stands as a pillar of our commitment to ethical practices within our organization and in all our engagements.

Whistleblowing is a vital process that allows individuals to report concerns or wrongdoings within the workplace, often referred to as ‘malpractice’. At PY, we understand the gravity and sensitivity of such disclosures. Our policy encompasses a range of potential wrongdoings, including criminal offenses, failure to comply with legal obligations, endangering health and safety, and environmental damage. Importantly, it also covers attempts to cover up these actions.

This policy is designed to encourage and facilitate the responsible reporting of such matters. We recognize that deciding to report a concern requires courage and a commitment to the values we uphold. Therefore, we are devoted to ensuring that those who come forward with genuine concerns are supported and protected from retaliation or victimization.

Our Whistleblowing Policy is applicable to all staff, volunteers, partners, consultants, and contractors of PY. It provides clear guidance on how to report suspected malpractice, ensuring that all concerns are treated seriously and investigated thoroughly. We have established both standard and alternative reporting mechanisms to ensure that reports can be made comfortably and confidentially.

At PY, we are determined to create an environment where ethical concerns can be raised without fear. This policy is more than a set of guidelines—it’s a testament to our unwavering dedication to maintaining the highest standards of ethical conduct and ensuring a safe, secure, and respectful workplace.

As you explore this section, you will gain insights into our comprehensive approach to whistleblowing, including detailed procedures for reporting, safeguards for whistleblowers, and our commitment to dealing with each report with the utmost seriousness and discretion. Join us in our journey to foster a culture of transparency and integrity at Peace by Youth.
