RFSL is strengthening the existing whistleblowing routines by adding an external mechanism of submitting complaints and conducting inquiries. The new function will be managed by an external actor (namely Grey Advokatbyrå AB law firm) and is part of the ongoing measures taken to ensure that RFSL is experienced as a safe and secure environment for those seeking support, as well as other members, volunteers, elected representatives/officials, employees, partners and anyone else coming in contact with our organization.
Those who suspect serious irregularities in relation to persons active within RFSL, can make a complaint to the law firm Grey Advokatbyrå AB. The complaint should be submitted if there are objective and factually motivated grounds for investigating the person’s potential involvement in serious irregularities.
The External Whistleblowing System allows for submission of anonymous complaints. If you want to be anonymous, avoid sharing any details that might expose your identity or clearly state that you wish to remain anonymous.
To consider before filing the complaint:
- Make sure to write down the information at your disposal in as detailed and correct manner as possible;
- Who within RFSL is/are involved in or affected by the case you are reporting?
- Who is/are the person/s that, according to the complaint you are making, have allegedly violated the law or been involved in serious irregularities connected to RFSL?
- When did the incident/s occur?
- Describe in more detail the specific incident/s pertaining to your complaint (the description should include a clear distinction between what you know and what you assume or believe)
- Do you have any other relevant comments/information about the incident/s described in your complaint?
When the complaints are received by the law firm managing the external whistleblowing function, the first assessment of the case is made. Following the initial assessment, the law firm hands the case over to the internal investigation group at RFSL and makes a recommendation for further investigation or dismissal of the complaint. RFSL will also receive statistical information and overall picture of received complaints and organization’s auditors will have insight in how the cases are being handled.
