Speaking Up
Raising a protected disclosure with Azimi & Co. Vision Recruitment — confidentially and without fear of retaliation.
Azimi & Co. Vision Recruitment — Speaking Up
Azimi & Co. Vision Recruitment is committed to maintaining the highest possible standards in its activities as a recruitment and talent solutions agency, as well as an employer. We are equally committed to fostering an open environment and a culture of full accountability, where not only our employees, but those outside the organisation too — including job applicants, candidates, former employees, agency workers, clients, or suppliers — are encouraged to Speak Up.
'Speaking Up' refers to the disclosure of suspected wrongdoing in relation to Azimi & Co. and its business activities — also known as whistleblowing or a protected disclosure.
What Can Be Reported
You are encouraged to Speak Up if you have a reasonable belief that wrongdoing has occurred, is occurring, or is likely to occur, in connection with Azimi & Co.'s business. This may include, for example:
- Breach of a legal obligation, including data protection or employment law;
- Danger to the health and safety of any individual;
- Financial impropriety, fraud, or bribery;
- Discrimination, harassment, or unfair treatment of candidates, employees, or clients;
- Miscarriage of justice; or
- Concealment of any of the above.
How to Speak Up
We offer a dedicated, confidential email channel for anyone wishing to raise a protected disclosure with Azimi & Co.:
info@azimivision.com (please mark your subject line 'Protected Disclosure — Confidential')
Disclosures can also be raised in writing to our registered offices in Dublin, Ireland or London, United Kingdom, marked for the attention of the Data Protection Lead.
Where possible, please provide as much detail as you can — including dates, individuals involved, and any supporting evidence — to help us assess and respond to your concern effectively.
Confidentiality and Protection
Azimi & Co. treats all disclosures with the strictest confidence. We will make every reasonable effort to protect the identity of anyone who raises a concern in good faith, and will not tolerate any form of retaliation, penalisation, or detriment against a person for Speaking Up.
This commitment reflects our obligations under:
- The Protected Disclosures Act 2014 (as amended by the Protected Disclosures (Amendment) Act 2022), which transposes the EU Whistleblowing Directive into Irish law; and
- The Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998, in respect of our UK operations.
A disclosure made in good faith, even where the concern later proves to be mistaken, is protected under this policy. Deliberately false or malicious reports are not protected and may be subject to separate action.
What Happens Next
Upon receipt of a protected disclosure, we will:
- Acknowledge receipt within a reasonable timeframe;
- Assess the concern raised and determine the appropriate next steps, which may include an internal review or investigation;
- Keep you informed of the general progress and outcome, to the extent permitted by confidentiality and legal constraints; and
- Take appropriate action where wrongdoing is confirmed.
External Reporting
While we encourage concerns to be raised with us directly wherever possible, you are also entitled to make a protected disclosure to a relevant external body, such as:
- Ireland — Office of the Protected Disclosures Commissioner Website: www.opdc.ie
- United Kingdom — relevant prescribed regulator A list of prescribed persons and bodies for UK whistleblowing disclosures is available at: www.gov.uk/whistleblowing
