Whistleblower protection
Studierendenwerk Dortmund adheres to the principle of working together with students, business partners and employees in a spirit of trust. Corruption, fraud or other violations of the law have no place here. If you find out in your daily work that these principles are being violated, please report it to us. Our aim is to comply with laws and regulations. If errors occur, we want to uncover and remedy them.
Your contact options
Studierendenwerk Dortmund complies with the requirements of the Whistleblower Protection Act and the EU-wide standard for the protection of whistleblowers in accordance with the EU Whistleblower Directive (EU-2019/1937). In order to implement these requirements, we have set up a whistleblower system with the possibility to report legal violations confidentially. There are two reporting channels available to you,
- the online reporting portal
- the telephone hotline +49 (0)173 459 11 96
Our employees, as well as all other persons who have contact with the Studierendenwerk Dortmund, can report legal violations via these confidential reporting channels.
We work together with a service provider: Every report received via the reporting portal or the hotline reaches Integrity GmbH, which is our ombudsman's office tasked with handling reports. Reports can be submitted there with your contact details, but also anonymously. All reports are received confidentially. Our service provider Integrity GmbH ensures that employees or managers of the Studierendenwerk Dortmund do not find out your name unless you have given your express prior consent. Details on data processing by Integrity GmbH can be found there on the website, insider-report.org/datenschutzerklaerung. Our service provider Integrity GmbH will send you an acknowledgement of receipt within 7 days, and will inform you within 3 months at the latest what the investigations into your report have revealed.
