Concerns about suspected wrongdoing by an employee of the TDSB should be raised through the reporting system. Examples of wrongdoing include:

Anyone can report suspected wrongdoing by an employee of the TDSB through the reporting system, including trustees, employees, permit holders, volunteers, students, parents/guardians and the general public.

Reports can be submitted online, by phone or by email. If a written report is being submitted, please use the Reporting Suspected Wrongdoing form to ensure that the report contains sufficient detail and information so the concern can be investigated appropriately.

The reporting system is managed by a third party organization called Integrity Counts. For more information about submitting a report, please see Incident Reporting How-to Guide.

A report of suspected wrongdoing may be made anonymously. However, the investigation will be most effective if your contact information is provided in the report. If you provide your contact information, rest assured that the process has been designed to protect your identity.

Anonymous allegations will only be acted upon if the evidence collected during the preliminary investigation indicates the disclosure can be properly investigated and is in the public interest. Please ensure that sufficient information is provided, especially if you submit an anonymous report.
