[EN] If I report someone for violating standards of conduct at CERN, do I receive whistle-blower protection?

[EN]

CERN does not have an official whistle-blowing policy.  However, violations can be reported to your hierarchy, the CERN contract manager, the Human Resources Department, or Internal Audit , as the case may be, on a fully confidential basis.  Attempted or actual retaliation against a person who contacted or cooperated with the Ombuds will not be tolerated and may result in disciplinary action.
