Whistleblow Policy

Purpose and scope

We are committed to creating and maintaining a culture of openness within our organisation, so that individuals feel encouraged and confident to raise any concerns about suspected misconduct at an early stage.

We recognise the negative effect that malpractice can have on the organisation, and therefore encourage you to raise genuine concerns or any suspicions you may have about misconduct.

Disclosures under this policy

You can make a disclosure under this policy if you have genuine concerns about any of the following areas of malpractice or suspected malpractice:

The malpractice can be past, present or prospective. You are encouraged to report suspected wrongdoing as soon as possible. No action will be taken against you if you raise a genuine concern, even if it is not confirmed by a subsequent investigation.

How to raise a concern

Raise your concern with your manager or by email to office@tangaminerals.com. You may report anonymously.

Investigation

Once a concern has been raised, we will investigate it. If you have not reported anonymously, you will be asked to attend a meeting as part of the investigation.

We will keep you informed of the progress of the investigation as far as is possible and appropriate, bearing in mind any confidentiality obligations. You will not be given details of any disciplinary action taken unless we consider this appropriate.

Training

All our workers receive an appropriate briefing so that they are fully aware of their rights and responsibilities under this policy. All managers are briefed on their role in supporting this policy and the action to take when a disclosure is made to them.
