Help for Whistleblowers
Disclaimer: Please note that Canadians for Accountability is not able to provide legal advice. Readers are advised to use information on this website with caution, and to seek the advice of a union representative, lawyer, or other appropriate professional before taking action. Neither Canadians for Accountability nor any of its officers assume responsibility for any type of damage caused or alleged to be caused by any person, group, organization or entity by information on this website. Any misunderstanding, use or misuse of information on this website is the sole responsibility of the reader.
Although we would like to be able to help whistleblowers more actively, our resources are limited. Our main activities at present are limited to building a support network for whistleblowers and providing a social venue for whistleblowers - a place where they can meet like-minded individuals who may be able to offer advice.
We may also be able to help you in other small ways, for example by:
- Proofreading documents you prepare
- Advising you on possible courses of action and liklihood of success
- Helping prepare access to information, freedom of information and private information requests to government agencies
- Connecting you with other whistleblowers in similar situations
- Accompanying you to sensitive meetings
Note that while we would like to help more, we have learned that the effort required to analyze and treat complex cases is beyond our current capacity to provide. Thus, help beyond basic advice and social support is contingent on volunteers being available. Some members may also be willing to help you for an honorarium or donation to Canadians for Accountability. There is no fee for contacting us, however, and everything will always be completely confidential.

Make sure to vistit our About Accountability and Whistleblowing section. It has plenty of information about whistleblowing, bullying and reprisals. |

If you're an employer, a union or a human resources representative, we may be able to help you, too. Visit our Presentations and Training page for more information. |
