The draft Public Interest Disclosures (PID) Policy establishes principles for internal reporting and disclosure of wrongdoing in the workplace.
Having a policy in place is a requirement under section 42 of the NSW PID Act 2022. The PID Act (commonly known as whistle-blowers) provides a framework for public officials to report serious wrongdoing in the workplace and ensures they are protected when they do so.
The NSW Ombudsman has released a model PID Policy in line with the requirements of the PID Act, for agencies to refer to when developing their own PID Policy. Council has developed a draft PID Policy based off the model policy provided by the NSW Ombudsman and it would replace Council's current Internal Reporting Policy.
The policy applies to all public officials which includes:
Council employees
The Mayor and Councillors
Volunteers (such as members of committees, Strategic Reference Groups and Advisory Groups)
Contractors who provide a service on behalf of Council (such as JR Richards who provides our waste services collection, and Belgravia Leisure who manages our leisure centres, etc.)
