1. Purpose of This Policy

This policy is designed to:

  • Provide a clear, safe process for raising concerns.

  • Ensure reports are taken seriously and investigated appropriately.

  • Protect whistleblowers from retaliation or unfair treatment.

  • Foster a culture of openness, integrity, and compliance at Model Britain Ltd.

2. What You Should Report

You should report any activity you reasonably believe involves wrongdoing, including (but not limited to):

  • Fraud, bribery, or corruption

  • Misuse of sponsorship or public funds

  • Health and safety violations

  • Discrimination, harassment, or abuse

  • Breaches of legal or regulatory obligations

  • Serious environmental risks

  • Attempts to conceal any of the above

Note: This policy is not intended for personal grievances unless they have a broader public interest.

3. Who Can Report a Concern?

We welcome reports from anyone connected to our organisation, including:

  • Employees and volunteers

  • Contractors and suppliers

  • Partners, sponsors, and stakeholders

  • Visitors and members of the public

4. How to Raise a Concern

You can report your concern confidentially via one of the following channels:

Please provide as much detail as possible. Anonymous reports are accepted, but may limit our ability to investigate effectively.

5. What Happens After You Report

Once we receive a concern:

  1. It is logged and reviewed by our designated Whistleblower Liaison or a senior officer.

  2. If necessary, an internal or external investigation is initiated.

  3. You may be contacted for further details.

  4. Where possible, we will update you on the outcome.

All cases are handled promptly, fairly, and with discretion.
