Ethics Program
RRC Polytech’s third-party ethics reporting service ConfidenceLine is no longer available as of May 1, 2020 and the ability for employees to make anonymous submissions to the College regarding suspected wrongdoing or unethical conduct is not supported at this time.
To report suspected improper activity in confidence, please see RRC Polytech Reporting Channels below and review the College’s Ethical Behaviour Policy and Public Interest Disclosure/Whistleblower Protection Policy.
If employees have questions regarding reporting a concern or making a Public Interest Disclosure, they may send a message to RRCEthics@rrc.ca and the Executive Administrator to the Board of Governors will review the message and respond with options for proceeding or ask questions for clarification. The confidentiality of messages received will be maintained.
As always, complaints and disclosures must be made in good faith by employees who honestly believe misconduct has been or is about to be committed and when there are reasonable indications to support their belief.
