Whistleblower Training

Whistleblower Training provides staff with information so that they can identify poor practice and to develop confidence to act appropriately in reporting matters using appropriate whistleblowing procedure. Whistleblowing is where an employee makes a protected disclosure to their employer or the relevant regulator regarding specific concerns that they have discovered through their work.

This could be information or activity that is deemed illegal, unethical or not correct within an organisation. The alleged wrongdoing can be classified in many ways as violation of company policy, rules, law or regulation or threat to public interest or national security, as well as fraud and corruption.

A whistleblower can make allegations internally or externally. However, the person whistleblowing takes the risk of facing stiff reprisal and retaliation from those who are accused or alleged of wrongdoing and therefore it is of utmost importance that employees develop confidence to act appropriately in reporting matters using the appropriate whistleblowing procedure.
