Welcome to IPSA's whistleblowing portal

IPSA has chosen to set up an online platform https://ipsa.besignal.com/ to provide a secure system for receiving and processing internal and external complaints in the best possible conditions.

This portal does not replace other reporting channels (hierarchical recourse, HDME referent, rights defender or criminal procedure), but complements them.

The introduction of a procedure for reporting sexual and gender-based violence, harassment (moral or sexual), hazing and all forms of discrimination is a legal obligation for public establishments, including universities and grandes écoles.

IPSA undertakes to implement any precautionary measure or disciplinary sanction deemed appropriate to prevent or put a stop to acts of violence, discrimination, harassment and sexist behaviour to which the victim is exposed, even when criminal proceedings have not been initiated.

In accordance with our code of conduct and ethics, as well as current legal provisions, this platform enables secure reporting and exchanges, and is accessible to all employees and third parties.

How is the admissibility of my alert assessed?

The admissibility of your alert will be assessed in particular with regard to the following criteria:

Are the facts reported contrary to the law, regulations or the Group's ethical documentation?

TO KNOW

Each report has its own discussion system for sending and receiving messages. These exchanges respect the choice of reporters if they wish to remain anonymous.

Only the designated referees will receive the information you send us via the form. You will be able to track your report and communicate with the referent(s) using the confidential code generated by the platform when you submit your report. All reports will be subject to rigorous analysis and a detailed internal audit.
