Malpractice
If you see something that doesn’t seem quite right, it’s important to report it to the confidential counsellor for malpractice. This could be excessive spending on a project, for example, or the improper use of a lab. The more we know, the more we can do about it. Your anonymity is guaranteed at all stages of the process. Anything you say to the confidential counsellor will always be treated in strict confidence.

If you suspect wrongdoing, the first person to contact is normally your manager. However, if you prefer not to do this, for instance if your manager is the person about whom you have concerns, you should contact the confidential counsellor for malpractice directly.
