Reporting Misconduct
Oxfam has a zero-tolerance approach to exploitation, abuse, fraud and corruption. We encourage you to confidentially report misconduct below.
Confidentially Report Misconduct
At Oxfam, it is vital that everyone who works for us maintains the highest standards of conduct, integrity and ethics, and complies with local legislation.
If you suspect that misconduct has, or is about to occur, we encourage you to communicate your suspicions without fear of reprisal and in the knowledge that you will be protected from victimization and/or dismissal.
All reports are confidential, and we will only share the details with the appropriate team members to progress your complaint. Reporters, survivors and complainants can choose to stay anonymous throughout the process.
You can report misconduct in the following ways:
