Protection Against Retaliation
QCHC strictly prohibits retaliation against any individual who, in good faith, reports a concern or participates in an investigation. Retaliation against whistleblowers will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination or severance of contractual relationships.
False or malicious reports made in bad faith may also be subject to disciplinary action.
How to Report a Concern
Reports may be made confidentially and, where permitted by law, anonymously.
Direct Reporting
You may also report concerns directly to:

Confidentiality & Investigation Process
All reports are taken seriously and reviewed promptly. QCHC will maintain confidentiality to the extent possible while conducting a thorough and impartial investigation. Information will only be shared with individuals who need to know in order to investigate and resolve the matter.
No Retaliation Guarantee
Anyone who believes they have experienced retaliation after reporting a concern should report it immediately using the same reporting channels. Retaliation claims will be investigated with the same level of seriousness and confidentiality.
