Collating and publishing statistics
The Protected Disclosure Coordinator will establish a secure register to record the information required to be published in the MFB's annual report, and to generally keep account of the status of protected disclosures and investigations.
The register will be confidential and will not record any information that may identify the whistleblower.
The register will contain the following information for each year:
- The number and types of disclosures made to MFB;
- The number of disclosures referred to the Ombudsman for determination as to whether they are public interest disclosures;
- The number and types of disclosed matters referred to MFB by the Ombudsman for investigation;
- The number and types of disclosures referred by MFB to the Ombudsman for investigation;
- The number and types of investigations taken over from MFB by the Ombudsman;
- The number of requests made by a whistleblower to the Ombudsman to take over an investigation by MFB;
- The number and types of disclosed matters that MFB has declined to investigate;
- The number and types of disclosed matters that were substantiated upon investigation and the action taken on completion of the investigation; and
- Any recommendations made by the Ombudsman that relate to MFB.
