It provides a structured approach to identifying and handling such complaints while ensuring compliance with Irish legislation, including data protection laws, administrative procedures, and fair practice requirements. The policy includes clear definitions, procedures, safeguards, and appeal mechanisms, helping organizations maintain efficient operations while protecting staff wellbeing and ensuring legitimate complaints receive appropriate attention.
