Public Interest Disclosures
Public Interest Disclosures Act 2003
The Public Interest Disclosures Act 2003 (PID Act) facilitates the disclosure of public interest information and provides protection for those making such disclosures and those who are the subject of disclosures.
The City is committed to the aims and objectives of the PID Act and to creating and sustaining an ethical work environment.
The City does not tolerate corrupt or other improper conduct, including mismanagement of resources and strongly supports disclosures being made in respect of conduct which is potentially corrupt or otherwise improper.
A public interest disclosure must relate to wrongdoing, not be trivial and must be made to the right person (being a proper authority). A public interest disclosure must be managed in accordance with the PID Act and, once made, the person making the disclosure cannot withdraw it.
Further information is available in the Public Sector Commission guide for disclosers
Making a Public Interest Disclosure
Before making a formal disclosure to a PID Officer, you should contact one of the City’s PID Officers to discuss the proposed disclosure, whether alternative means of dealing with the matter might be more appropriate, and to obtain information regarding your rights and responsibilities as a discloser.
