Compliance Whistleblowing System
The new Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG) is intended to ensure effective protection for whistleblowers who have obtained information about violations of the law in the course of their professional activities and have passed this information on to internal or external reporting bodies. Its intend is also to exclude any disadvantages for these whistleblowers.
DKFZ has established an internal reporting office to implement the law and has appointed a Compliance Ombudsman who is a lawyer. This enables whistleblowers to turn in confidence to the Compliance Ombudsman as a neutral body.
If you contact the Compliance Ombudsman, he will contact you after careful examination of your report and, if necessary, take further steps. In any case, he will proceed in such a way that you, as the whistleblower, do not suffer any disadvantage from your report.
The role of the Compliance Ombudsman is taken over by RA Stephan Rheinwald.
