Safe Reporting Service Provider Standard (SafeLine) is a whistle-blower reporting certification standard designed with the primary purpose of protecting the whistle-blower who is doing the right thing by reporting unethical conduct, often at personal risk. This individual must be able to trust that their report will be treated in a confidential, secure, and timely manner. SafeLine provides an official, externally provided certification to give peace of mind to the whistle-blower, assuring them that the line they are using has been assessed by an expert and deemed reliable. A safe reporting line that is successful in fulfilling the criteria is granted certification for a duration of 12 months. Following this period, it has to undergo the assessment again to ensure that quality is maintained.
