Whistleblowing

• 20 Minutes
• For all staff
• EU

Raising concerns confidentially or anonymously about internal malpractice and external threats supports the functioning of any organisation. This 20-minute course helps staff define whistleblowing, understand what falls within scope and what does not, learn how and when to blow the whistle, and recognise the protections available to those who speak up.

The EU Whistleblowing Directive requires organisations above a size threshold to operate internal reporting channels with defined timeframes and protection against retaliation, implemented through national law. A compliant channel that staff do not trust receives nothing. Training the workforce on both the process and the protection is what converts the legal requirement into a functioning source of information.
