Committee on Whistleblowing
The national Committee on Whistleblowing investigates known or suspected malpractices, and issues recommendations to the Executive Board. Universities have chosen to cooperate in this appointment of committee members. They will appoint the same group of committee members for each university, enabling committee members to gain more knowledge and experience within the sector and allowing committees to operate in a similar way across the university sector. The composition of the committee may change for each report, depending on the nature and volume of expected reports. The members are independent of the Executive Board.
The Sectoral Regulation on Reporting Suspected Malpractice Dutch Universities contains further information on the precise procedure. The identity of the person filing a report will not be revealed without this person’s permission.
