Making a report

We will need to know:

• the firm or individual's name
• what the suspected wrongdoing is
• who is involved
• how long it has been going on
• what the impact is
• if you have any supporting documents or evidence you can share with us*

* We do not encourage whistleblowers to proactively obtain more information from any source, whatever the circumstances, as this might break the law. However, we may ask whistleblowers to clarify the information they have already given us.

What happens when I contact the JFSC?

You will be assigned a contact who you can arrange to speak to at your convenience. We will:

• listen to your concerns in full
• take the time to understand your concerns
• ask any relevant questions to help us gather information or to clarify any information you give us

Next steps

We create a report

If the concerns are within our remit, we will create a report and determine what can be done to address the concerns you have raised.

We may share this report with other regulators or public bodies if appropriate.

This report will not identify you in any way.

We make enquiries

We independently review the concerns raised, as well as any other relevant information available to us or held in the public domain.

Consider any necessary action

We will consider the information you have provided, along with the outcome of any further enquiries we make. If appropriate, we may consider further action.

This information is confidential, and we are unable to advise you of any progress or outcome.

What we will not do

We will not:

• keep you updated on progress
• provide feedback on the information provided
• promise that we will open an investigation following your concerns, or that you will be exempt from any further regulatory action depending on the information we may find following any investigation
• give a reward or any compensation for the information you provide
