Whistleblowing Training for Employees Certification

Whistleblowing Training for Employees

This course will teach you the importance of whistleblowing in an organisation and will tell you what the process entails.

Whistleblowing means that a worker in a company or organisation can report wrongdoing or dangerous practices using a protected disclosure to the management or to a third party.

The worker will automatically be protected by whistleblowing law if they follow the correct protocols and report criminal activity or civil disobedience which affects the public good.

 

What you will learn:

  • What whistleblowing is.
  • When whistleblowing is acceptable, when it’s an obligation, and when it is not appropriate and another form of disclosure should be used.
  • The procedure of whistleblowing.
  • The risks and problems which could arise from whistleblowing.
  • The legal requirements and regulations related to whistleblowing.
