Right and duty to raise concerns

Right to raise concerns

The Working Environment Act gives you the right to report censurable conditions. The Act offers you protection against retaliation from UiO, and requires that UiO make whistleblowing possible. The rules of the Working Environment Act apply to all employment situations.

Duty to report

The duty to speak out may also be laid down in other acts, regulations or agreements.
