Festive closure 

Our office will be closed for the festive period from 25 December 2025 and will reopen on Monday 5 January 2026. Our phone line will close as normal at 1pm on 24 December 2025.

You can still submit your complaint via our online form but this will not be processed until we reopen.

For NHS organisations

All NHS organisations and providers in Scotland are required to follow the National Whistleblowing Principles and Standards. 

The Principles and Standards explain what is expected of NHS organisations and contractors about their handling of whistleblowing concerns.

The sector information includes specific guidance for primary care, health and social care partnerships, students and volunteers.

Our training, guidance and resources offer supporting information on handling concerns.
