Welcome

VCC expects all members of the College community – current or former students, staff, faculty - to behave ethically and legally in accordance with VCC’s Policies and Procedures, local, provincial and federal legislation. College members are expected to report instances of wrongdoing to the College without delay.

The College’s Safe Disclosure Policy (commonly referred to as a “whistleblower” policy) outlines the steps individuals should take to make a report of wrongdoing. 

Complaints made under this policy must fall under the following definitions:

• a. A serious act or omission that, if proven, would constitute an offence under an enactment of British Columbia or Canada;
• b. An act or omission that creates a substantial and specific danger to the life, health or safety of persons, or to the environment, other than a danger that is inherent in the performance of an employee's duties or functions;
• c. A serious misuse of public funds or public assets;
• d. Gross or systemic mismanagement;
• e. Knowingly directing or counselling a person to commit a Wrongdoing described in (a) to (d).

If your complaint does not fall under these definitions, please consider another avenue for making your complaint. Formal complaints of harassment, discrimination, bullying, workplace violence, or conflict of interest must be done pursuant to VCC's established policies and procedures.
