PSAU operates a centralised reporting system for all complaints pertaining to discrimination, favouritism, corrupt practices, and other violations, particularly those targeting women. Through this committee members of the University are encouraged to make anonymous reports regarding any violation or infringement. At the core of the committee’s principles is safeguarding the identity and integrity of whistle-blowers who report such cases.
The safeguards provided ensure that those reporting discrimination are protected from discrimination from educational, employment, or any form of disadvantage.
First, the entire reporting system is annonymous. Second, such whistleblowers are protected from sanctions, dismissal, or any form of unfavourable action.
Moreover, PSAU has partnered with the national Board for Grievances to further strengthen its whistleblower policy via training, confidentiality, among other partnerships.
