WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTION

Studierendenwerk Paderborn adheres to the principle of working together with students, business partners and employees in a spirit of trust. Corruption, fraud or other legal offences have no place here. If you learn in your daily work that these principles are being violated, please report it to us.

Our aim is to comply with laws and regulations. If errors occur, we want to uncover and rectify them.

The Studierendenwerk Paderborn complies with the requirements of the planned German Whistleblower Protection Act and the EU-wide standard for the protection of whistleblowers in accordance with the EU Whistleblower Directive (EU-2019/1937).

In order to implement these requirements, we have set up a whistleblower system with the option of reporting legal violations confidentially. There are two reporting channels available to you,

You can reach the online registration portal here.

You can reach the telephone hotline at +49 (0)173 459 11 96.

Our employees, as well as all other persons who have contact with Studierendenwerk Paderborn, can use these confidential reporting channels to report legal violations.

We work together with a service provider: Every report received via the reporting portal or the hotline reaches Integrity GmbH, which is our ombudsman's office responsible for handling reports.

Reports can be submitted there with your contact details, but also anonymously.

All reports are received confidentially. Our service provider Integrity GmbH guarantees that the employees or managers of Studierendenwerk Paderborn will not learn your name unless you have given your express prior consent. Details on data processing by Integrity GmbH can be found at here.

Our service provider Integrity GmbH will send you a confirmation of receipt within 7 days and will inform you within 3 months at the latest of the results of the investigation into your report.

Please note that our whistleblower system can only be used to report legal violations. For general information, complaints or suggestions, please contact us via our website www.stwpb.de
