Whistle blowing procedure

Individuals can make confidential ADRA-related complaints through the whistleblowing mechanism of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. 

The Church uses a website called Silent Whistle. Complaints made about ADRA through the Silent Whistle are received by the General Counsel at the General Conference of Seventh-Day Adventists. 

The General Counsel refers the complaint to the appropriate person within ADRA or its board and can communicate through the Silent Whistle with the complainant, regardless if the complaint was made anonymously or not. 

To use the Silent Whistle platform, the instructions are as follows:
