The Reject Shop’s “Speak Up” Hotline

The Reject Shop’s “Speak Up” Hotline is an independent service run by Stopline that gives you the opportunity to report misconduct and other serious workplace issues – anonymously if you wish.

The “Speak Up” Hotline can be used to report anything when things are not quite how they should be. This will usually relate to actual or suspected wrongdoing or misconduct, which may include any of the following examples:

• Theft
• Fraud
• Dishonesty
• Bullying and Harassment
• Policy breaches
• Unethical behaviour
• Workplace safety hazards

The above list is intended to give you a sense of the types of matters that may be disclosed, but the list is not exhaustive. If you are looking at the above examples and still wondering if you should report your concern, the answer is probably “yes” – please speak up.

You may be familiar with this saying: “A problem shared is a problem halved”. The saying expresses the idea that sharing a concern is a really useful way of dealing with an issue.

The service includes:

• Dedicated hotline number, website, fax, mail and email address for team members, contractors and other stakeholders to report suspected incidents of improper conduct.
• Expert forensic investigators taking the calls and analysing disclosures.
• Timely reporting of incidents to dedicated a limited number of authorised representatives within The Reject Shop.

Stopline has been at the forefront of disclosure management services for over a decade and has partnered with some of Australia’s most iconic companies to assist them in demonstrating their commitment to supporting staff, contractors and other stakeholders through best practice corporate governance initiatives.
