Report a concern or make a complaint

We are committed to conducting business responsibly, with honesty and integrity and to a high standard. The PIDG Complaints and Whistleblowing Operating Policy sets out how we aim to resolve matters as quickly as possible where anyone has a complaint about our standards and quality of service and to address concerns about actual or suspected wrongdoing or misconduct. We will treat all reports and complaints with the utmost confidentiality and will protect all personal data in accordance with our Privacy Notice and applicable data protection laws.
Find all our procedures below.

Making a complaint

If you have a complaint about how we have been carrying out our activities, which has not been satisfactorily resolved with your main point of contact within PIDG, then you may make a complaint by contacting PIDG Compliance using one of the following channels by:

• Emailing: compliance@pidg.org
• Using the enquiry form on the Contact Us page.
• Writing to: The Private Infrastructure Development Group Ltd, 6 Bevis Marks, London EC3A 7BA.

We will acknowledge receipt as soon as possible but always within seven days of a complaint being received. If we have not been able to resolve the complaint by the time we contact you, we will set out the next steps. You can find more information about our complaints process in our Complaints and Management Procedures.

Raising a concern

If you wish to raise a concern about malpractice, wrongdoing or a risk, in relation to our activities, which adversely affects the public, PIDG staff or PIDG itself, we encourage you to speak up and raise your concerns. A concern will usually show one or more of the following has been committed, is being committed or is likely to be committed:

• a criminal offence;
• failure to comply with legislation;
• a miscarriage of justice;
• endangering the health or safety of any individual;
• damage to the environment;
• breach of PIDG Code of Conduct including associated policies, procedures and standards;
  or the deliberate concealment of any of the above matters.

We will take all reasonable steps to protect all individuals who speak up in good faith. In particular, individuals will not suffer any detrimental treatment by PIDG as a result of raising a concern in good faith. We will not tolerate any harassment, victimisation or detrimental treatment of an individual (including informal pressures) and will take appropriate action to protect individuals who raise a concern in good faith.
