Submitting complaints

You can make a disclosure in writing to the Privacy Officer via safedisclosure@vcc.ca, or directly to the appropriate Designated Officer identified in the policy.

You have the option to make an anonymous disclosure. Notify the Designated Officer if you wish to remain anonymous. Depending on the avenue through which you make your disclosure, the Designated Officer may not be able to follow up with you if you remain anonymous. 

Your disclosure should include:

• a description of the wrongdoing
• the alleged wrongdoer(s)
• date of occurrence
• relevant statute (if applicable)
• any prior reports made.

Make your disclosure in a timely manner, preferably within one year of discovering the wrongdoing or as soon as practicable.

If your disclosure concerns an urgent risk and you wish to make a public report, you will be protected from reprisal if you follow the steps outlined in the policy.
