Whistleblower

The whistleblower function helps to ensure that Sentia remains a transparent and accountable organisation. 

What is whistleblowing?

Whistleblowing is a vital tool for identifying and preventing serious unethical behavior. By reporting suspected wrongdoing, you help protect Sentia’s employees, operations, and the public. It supports a transparent and accountable organization where laws, internal policies, and ethical standards are upheld.

What can be reported?

We encourage whistleblowing in cases where there is a suspected misconduct within Sentia that is in the public interest to be disclosed. Whistleblowers do not need to have proof of their suspicions, but all reports must be made in good faith.

Protection for whistleblowers
Confidentiality

As a whistleblower reporting misconduct, your identity is protected by law with absolute confidentiality. Information about other individuals may not be disclosed unless it is clear that the information can be revealed without risk of harm or inconvenience to the individual. This applies to all individuals involved in a case of follow-up or actions, such as those alleged to have caused misconduct, witnesses, or individuals who have assisted the reporting person. 

Exemption from Liability

As a whistleblower, under certain conditions, you cannot be held liable for breaching any confidentiality obligation. This protection requires that, at the time of reporting, you had reasonable grounds to believe the information was necessary to disclose the reported misconduct.

When Exemption from Liability Does Not Apply

The protection does not apply in cases of so-called qualified confidentiality where the right of freedom to communicate information does not exist. The exemption from liability also does not apply if you commit a crime by making the report or unlawfully disclose confidential documents.

Protection Against Obstructive Measures and Reprisals

An operator (for example, your employer) may not prevent, or attempt to prevent, you from reporting and may not, as a result of your reporting, take reprisals against you or anyone who has assisted you in the reporting.
