Information on the Whistleblower Protection Act

On July 2, 2023, the Whistleblower Protection Act (based on the EU “Whistleblower Directive”) went into effect. The purpose of this law is to protect individuals who draw attention to legal violations and rule breaches within organizations.

Mainz University of Applied Sciences already has numerous points of contact available for feedback and reports. In addition, there are now two external agencies you can contact if, in connection with your professional activities or in the course of seeking employment, you have obtained information about violations that you wish to report.

First, a central reporting office has been established for this purpose at the Federal Office of Justice .

Second, the Ministry of Science, Continuing Education, and Health has established another reporting office for all universities in the state, about which I would like to inform you here. Reports to this office can be submitted electronically, in writing, by phone, or in person.
