Whistleblowing is the reporting, in good faith, of suspected wrongdoing or other misconduct that a person becomes aware of through their employment or another similar relationship.
Acting in good faith means acting as a natural person who, based on the circumstances known to them and the information available to them at the time of making the report, has reasonable grounds to believe that the facts reported are true.
Pursuant to Section 10(1) of Act No. 54/2019 Coll. on the Protection of Whistleblowers and on Amendments and Supplements to Certain Acts, the responsible person at UPJŠ is the Compliance Officer. zodpovedna-osoba-zakon-54-2019-051223.pdf
