Silent Whistle

STATEMENT OF POLICY:

If an employee has a concern regarding perceived unethical activity while at work, the individual is encouraged to talk with a supervisor, administrator, or Human Resources. However, at times an employee may not feel comfortable voicing the issue directly. In such situation(s) an employee may access a third-party reporting system which provides anonymity to the caller.

The North American Division will not retaliate against an employee who in good faith has raised a complaint on the basis of a reasonable belief that the practice is in violation of acceptable ethical behavior, the law or a clear mandate of public policy.
 

The reports go to the Office of General Counsel for the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Thank you for helping us keep our churches safe.

IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, 

SAY SOMETHING.

Please Note: Church processes should never be considered a substitute for mandatory reports of abuse to governmental authorities or for facilitating access to mental health care professionals or safety resources. If someone is currently experiencing abuse or is in immediate danger, the priority should be their immediate safety and well-being rather than engaging internal church processes, which may not be able to respond immediately and are not designed to address safety issues or provide mental health assistance.

  • Required or mandatory reports should be made to the appropriate governmental authority, such as law enforcement, the department of social services, or child protective services, whether the victim agrees or not, as required by law.

  • Discretionary reports involving adults may be made with the victim’s consent.

  • Other assistance, including referrals to mental health professionals, community domestic violence organizations, shelters, and other safety resources, should be provided based on the circumstances.
