At Keyano College, we are committed to fostering a culture of integrity, transparency, and accountability. To maintain these high standards, we have partnered with ConfidenceLine, an independent and confidential reporting service, to ensure all members of our community can safely voice concerns related to unethical behaviour or misconduct.

Thank you for helping us maintain a positive environment where everyone feels safe, valued, and heard.

What is the Keyano College ConfidenceLine?

Keyano College offers clear avenues for the safe disclosure of concerns related to wrongdoing and misconduct. Under the Public Interest Disclosure (Whistleblower Protection) Act, Keyano College employees can report in good faith when they believe a wrongdoing has occurred. This Act protects employees from any reprisal because of a good faith disclosure. 

Keyano’s Safe Disclosure Policy and Procedure for employees foster a culture of integrity, transparency, and accountability. To maintain these standards and expand employee resources, Keyano has partnered with Xpera to introduce ConfidenceLine. This service allows every Keyano member access to a confidential and independent reporting hotline.

How to Report a Concern

Employees, Contractors, and Vendors continue to have access to Keyano’s People and Culture team for confidential discussions. Additionally, reports can be submitted by phone or online using ConfidenceLine. An agent is available to receive reports 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, and can be reached by calling 1-800-661-9675. The reporting can be done online using an accessible form through this link: ConfidenceLine.

In all cases, submissions will remain confidential and can be anonymous via the ConfidenceLine.

Keyano is committed to continuing to uphold its values of respect and integrity by providing a safe space to report:

  • Harassment or discrimination.
  • Fraud, falsification of information or financial misconduct.
  • Safety and security violations.
  • Any other violations of college policies.

If you have questions about Keyano's Safe Disclosure policy, please contact People and Culture.

Report Management

Reports will be reviewed by the Director, People and Culture and investigated by a designated File Manager, Consultant, or external party when necessary. 

When submitting a report that directly implicates the department reviewing the files, Executive team, or Board Members, ConfidenceLine will redirect the report to an external legal resource for review and investigation to ensure impartial assessment. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still go to People and Culture representatives with my concerns?

Yes. The People and Culture department is Keyano's dedicated dispute resolution resource focused on maintaining a respectful and transparent workplace. You can reach out to HR Business Partners, Manager or Director of People and Culture. They will maintain confidentiality while addressing your concerns.
