What happens next?
It does not matter how a concern is raised, once it reaches the experienced staff at Stopline, it is assessed by an experienced forensic investigator and the report is forwarded to the AFCA Contact Officer who will also assess the disclosure and determine next steps in accordance with AFCA policies and procedures.
Each disclosure receives its own Unique Reference Number and even if the person making the disclosure prefers to remain anonymous, we encourage them to contact Stopline at regular intervals (we suggest each 2 weeks) to find out how their matter is progressing. Stopline staff will not divulge any information relating to a disclosure unless the person is able to provide sufficient information to identify them as the person who initially made the disclosure.
This process also assists if the AFCA investigator appointed to oversee the matter has further queries to be put to the person making the disclosure – Stopline is able to facilitate questions and answers between the investigator and the person making the disclosure while protecting anonymity.
When the investigation is concluded, Stopline will be informed about the outcome and that finding will be recorded on our system.
