Whistleblowing Training for Employers Certification

This course will teach you the importance of whistleblowing in an organisation and educate you on what the process entails. It will enable you to implement a whistleblowing policy and train your staff in the procedures and protocols of whistleblowing.

Whistleblowing means that a worker in a company or organisation can report wrongdoing or dangerous practices utilising a protected disclosure to the management or a third party. As management, you need to buy in to and endorse this process to support your workers and bring transparency and ethical practices into your company.

Workers will automatically be protected by whistleblowing law if they follow the correct protocols and report criminal activity or civil disobedience, and you will need to facilitate the process for them.

What You Will Learn:

• What whistleblowing is.
