identified and addressed, and that everyone who reports a concern in good faith is protected.
I call upon every student, member of staff, supplier and partner to uphold the University’s values and to report any suspected bribery or corruption through the channels on this page. Integrity starts with you.

What happens after you report

Your report is received, acknowledged and recorded confidentially.
The report is submitted to the University’s Corruption Prevention Committee and to the EACC (if it warrants).
The matter is inquired into by the appropriate University structure, which makes recommendations.
The University determines the appropriate action in line with its policies and procedures, and informs the EACC of the outcome.
Where you have given contact details, you receive feedback on the action taken.

When reporting, please give as much detail as possible: what happened, when and where, who was involved, any amounts or advantages involved, and any witnesses or documents. A report is more likely to be acted on if it contains specific, verifiable information.

Confidentiality and Protection

The identity of whistleblowers, informants and witnesses is kept strictly confidential.
Access to case information is restricted to those who need it; coded identifiers are used instead of names.
Officers handling reports sign confidentiality and non-disclosure undertakings.
Retaliation, victimisation or intimidation of a person who reports in good faith is not tolerated, and can be reported through any of the channels above.
Under the Anti-Bribery Act, 2016, it is an offence to harass, intimidate, demote or dismiss a whistleblower or witness, or to knowingly or negligently disclose their information.
Reports must be made in good faith. Knowingly making false or malicious reports may attract disciplinary action.
