NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND OF SOUTH CAROLINA PROTECTION FOR “WHISTLE BLOWERS” POLICY

It is the policy of the National Federation of the Blind of South Carolina to protect “whistleblowers” from retaliation.

A “whistleblower” is either a National Federation of the Blind of South Carolina employee or a volunteer working under the direction of a National Federation of the Blind of South Carolina employee who, in good faith, provides credible information about an alleged unlawful practice or an activity that allegedly violates established National Federation of the Blind of South Carolina policy. If an employee or a volunteer believes he or she has such information to report, he or she should contact his or her supervisor or the relevant National Federation of the Blind of South Carolina officer; or he or she may contact the president of the National Federation of the Blind of South Carolina.

Anyone who believes that he or she is a “whistleblower” and who believes that he or she is a victim of retaliation prohibited by this policy should report such alleged retaliation to the president of the National Federation of the Blind of South Carolina.
