Confidential Reporting – Safe, Secure, Anonymous
Police organisations are expected to adhere to the highest standards of integrity and fairness, but the prevention of discrimination and corruption poses a number of challenges. Without the reassurance of cast-iron confidentiality for potential sources, issues can remain unreported – hidden until they become damagingly public. With damaging media headlines such as ‘hidden culture of —ism…’, no police force should be taking chances on their reputation.
Integrity Link is the confidential reporting solution that empowers staff to report unethical behaviour, corruption and poor standards of conduct, helping you to uphold the highest ethical standards so that you can support a culture of integrity and accountability. Integrity Link is safe, secure and anonymous. Although it was originally designed to handle both internal and external ‘whistleblower’ sources, Integrity Link specialises in protecting the anonymity of internal staff members who wish to make a report or raise a complaint. The Key Features section below tells you how.
Integrity Link is intentionally a plainly presented application for the submitter. The following screenshot ‘flows’ outline typical uses.
