Anonymity and confidentiality
You are anonymous if you choose not tell us who you are, in which case nobody in or outside of ActionAid Denmark will be able to trace your report back to you. However, we encourage you to identify yourself so that we have a better opportunity to assess your report and potentially initiate an investigation. We have a duty of confidentiality regarding your identity, and our investigations are covered by the Danish Act on the Protection of Whistleblowers.
Trained investigators
All reports to ActionAid Denmark are processed by experienced and trained investigators, and in accordance with internationally recognized standards. In particularly complex and sensitive cases, we receive support from ActionAid Internal Audit and other units in the federation, or from external experts. Decisions in whistleblower cases are made by an independent panel.
