Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin) was established by Ministerial Order under Section 36 of the Technological Universities Act 2018, (Number 3 of 2018), and Statutory Instrument, (Number 437 of 2018), on the appointed day of 1st January 2019.

How to Make a Protected Disclosure 

Technological University Dublin believes in fostering an environment of trust, transparency, and accountability. The University is committed to providing workers with a confidential and secure pathway for reporting concerns about wrongdoing in the workplace and also to protect workers against penalisation for having reported those concerns. The Protected Disclosures Act 2014 as amended (the Act) protects workers who report certain workplace wrongdoings. The University’s Protected Disclosure Policy and Procedures (the Policy)(below) sets out: how to make a report; the types of wrongdoing that constitute a protected disclosure; what happens when a report is received and the protections that are available against penalisation for reporting a concern about wrongdoing.   

In accordance with the Act, the University has an established Internal Reporting Channel for the making of protected disclosures. This channel, previously operated in-house, is now operated on behalf of the University by PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers),  who provide a Confidential Recipient service.   The scope of the service includes the receipt, acknowledgement and assessment of reports. Full statutory responsibility, decision making and accountability remain at all times with the University. The Head of Governance and Compliance is the internal Designated Person with day-to-day responsibility for the oversight of the University's Protected disclosures process and is the point of contact for any queries in respect of the Policy and can be contacted at Protected.Disclosures@TUDublin.ie. 

Please read the  Policy carefully before making a report. It is the responsibility of a reporting person to satisfy themselves that they meet the criteria for protection under the Act.  For the avoidance of doubt, the updated Policy and the Confidential Recipient service apply only to new disclosures submitted on or after 8th July 2026. They do not apply to disclosures that have already been submitted and are currently being considered under existing arrangements.  

Having read the Policy, if you would like to make a disclosure, you can do so by accessing the Internal Reporting Channel here.
