Non-Retaliation / Non-Intimidation Whistleblower Policy

The Arc Rockland recognizes that a critical aspect of the compliance program is the establishment of a culture that promotes prevention, detection, and resolution of instances of conduct that do not conform to federal and state requirements, as well as the agency’s ethical and business policies.  To promote this culture, the agency has established a compliance reporting process and a strict whistleblower/non-retaliation/non-intimidation policy to protect employees, directors, volunteers and others who report problems and concerns in good faith from retaliation.  Any form of retaliation or retribution can undermine the compliance resolution process and result in a failure of communication channels in the organization.

All reports are treated with respect and may be made anonymously.  No one will retaliate against any person make a report in good faith.
