Whistleblowing
Whistleblowing is intended for serious concerns about suspected wrongdoing, concealment, fraud, significant malpractice, abuse of authority or other matters that could threaten Pro Class standards, credential integrity or public trust. It is not a replacement for ordinary service complaints or routine disagreements.
What may be raised
- ✓
Suspected fraud, falsification or deliberate credential misuse.
- ✓
Serious or repeated malpractice or maladministration that may be concealed or ignored.
- ✓
Improper pressure intended to influence assessment, certification, approval or quality decisions.
- ✓
Serious breaches of ethical, legal or public-interest responsibilities connected to Pro Class activity.
- ✓
Retaliation or attempts to suppress a genuine integrity concern.
How to raise a concern
Use the Pro Class Contact page and clearly state that the matter is a whistleblowing or serious integrity concern. Provide the relevant people, organisations, dates, records or events where known. Do not obtain evidence unlawfully or place yourself or others at unnecessary risk.
Fair treatment
Pro Class should not disadvantage a person merely for raising a genuine concern in good faith. Deliberately false or malicious allegations are different from concerns that are honestly raised but later not substantiated.
Review & confidentiality
Information should be handled on a need-to-know basis as far as reasonably possible. Pro Class may need to share relevant information to review the concern fairly, protect affected parties, meet legal duties or take appropriate action. This public page does not publish investigation techniques or security-sensitive controls.
