The internal whistleblowing system is used to report any illegal conduct

  • of which the whistleblower became aware in a work-related context, and also

  • which, according to the whistleblower, has threatened or harmed the public interest in the areas specified in the Directive (e.g. public procurement, the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing, consumer or environmental protection, or protection of the financial interests of the European Union).


Reports may be submitted

  • Electronically using this form

  • In writing to the following address: Charles University, Ovocný trh 560/5, 11636 Prague 1. The following phrase should be written on the envelope: “Neotvírat – k rukám ombudsmanky Univerzity Karlovy” (Do not open – For the attention of the Ombuds of Charles University)

  • In person (by prior agreement with the Ombuds)

  • Via the external whistleblowing system of the Ministry of Justice Oznamovatel (Whistleblower)


The Directive grants the whistleblower protected status, which protects their identity and prohibits retaliatory measures against them in connection with submitting the report.


The competent person who will investigate the report is the Ombuds of Charles University, e-mail:
