SpeakUP
If something does not look right, tell us. SpeakUP is BMC's reporting channel for suspected misconduct, wrongdoing, fraud, corruption, breaches of law or policy, and other serious ethical concerns.
Prefer to report by email?
The Compliance Department is responsible for receiving reports submitted through the SpeakUP channel and the dedicated email for reporting misconduct.
BMC_SpeakUP@bmc.edu.saIf you want to remain anonymous, do not use an email account or device that identifies you.
Speak early.
Prompt reporting can help BMC identify, contain and address wrongdoing before it causes greater harm.
Good faith matters.
You do not need to prove the case yourself. Share what you reasonably believe is true and provide the facts you have.
Retaliation is not acceptable.
BMC policy protects whistleblowers from retaliation and requires reports to be handled seriously and objectively.
Report suspected wrongdoing that could harm people, BMC or the public interest.
The examples below reflect the types of reportable acts covered by BMC's Whistleblowing Policy.
Fraud, bribery & corruption
Fraud, embezzlement, bribery, corruption, improper benefits or other financial and administrative misconduct.
Laws, policies & regulations
Suspected breaches of applicable laws, regulations, BMC policies, instructions or required procedures.
Conflicts & abuse of authority
Undisclosed conflicts of interest, misuse of position, abuse of authority, unfair decisions or improper influence.
Misuse of BMC resources
Misappropriation, misuse or unauthorized use of BMC assets, funds, property, systems, data or other resources.
Safety & serious misconduct
Conduct that may threaten health, safety, the environment, public order, professional standards or others' wellbeing.
Data & confidential information
Unauthorized disclosure of confidential information or improper handling of personal, institutional or protected data.
Concealment or manipulation

Other unethical conduct

When in doubt, contact Compliance
It is better to raise a genuine concern early than to stay silent because you are uncertain about the category.
SpeakUP is for suspected wrongdoing
General academic inquiries, service requests, normal HR matters or general feedback should use the relevant BMC channel unless the matter involves wrongdoing, concealment or retaliation.
Choose the reporting route that is most appropriate for you.
You can identify yourself or make an anonymous report. Provide enough detail to allow a fair initial assessment.
Dedicated email for reporting misconduct
Reports sent through this email are received under the responsibility of the Compliance Department.
BMC_SpeakUP@bmc.edu.saFor anonymous reporting, avoid using an identifiable personal or BMC email account. Include the facts, dates, people involved and available supporting evidence.
Report directly through the e-Reporting Form
Use the form below to organize the key facts: what happened, when and where it happened, who may be involved, witnesses, evidence and any concern about retaliation.
Open electronic reporting formYour protection matters.
BMC's policy requires whistleblowing reports to be handled with seriousness, confidentiality and objectivity, and protects non-malicious whistleblowers against retaliation.
-
✓Protection from retaliation
BMC is obliged to protect non-malicious whistleblowers from retaliatory action by BMC employees. -
✓Anonymous reports are accepted
Anonymous reports are assessed under the policy and handled with the same seriousness, confidentiality and objectivity. -
✓Confidential handling
BMC will not disclose whistleblower information or identity except where disclosure to judicial or investigating authorities is required. -
✓Good-faith reporting
A report that is not proven does not by itself make the reporter responsible. Knowingly malicious allegations intended to harm others are different and may have consequences.
A clear path starting from report receipt through assessment, investigation and appropriate action.
BMC's policy requires objective handling, initial evaluation and timely investigation according to the nature, complexity and severity of the case.
Report received
Compliance reviews the report and identifies missing information or supporting evidence.
Receipt acknowledged
Receipt of a SpeakUP report will be acknowledged to the whistleblower within 3 working days.
Initial assessment
An initial evaluation determines whether investigation is required and the appropriate route.
Verification & investigation
Where justified, the matter is investigated objectively and recommendations are developed.
Decision & follow-up
Appropriate corrective or disciplinary measures are determined, implemented and followed up as applicable.
Why you may not receive every detail
To protect confidentiality, privacy and the integrity of investigations, BMC may be unable to disclose specific disciplinary measures, personal information or every action taken after a report.
Tell us what happened.
Share facts as clearly as you can. You can report anonymously.
Helpful information
A strong report usually explains:
-
What happened or may be happening.
-
Who is involved or may know about it.
-
When and where it occurred.
-
How you became aware of it.
-
Any documents, messages, records or witnesses that may help.
-
Whether the issue is ongoing or there is a risk of retaliation.
Privacy tip: only provide information relevant to the concern. Do not submit passwords, unrelated medical information or unnecessary personal data.
Questions people often have before speaking up.
Clear expectations reduce uncertainty and make it easier to report responsibly.
