Whistleblowing Policy – Building a Culture of Openness

Whistleblowing is about protected disclosure – raising concerns of serious malpractice or wrongdoing in the workplace by workers in a safe manner. Such transparency is a necessary part of building a culture of accountability and this, in turn, is vital in the prevention and detection of fraud, bribery and other corrupt business practices. Organisations must build an appropriate framework that protects staff who blow the whistle. This half-day interactive course shows delegates how to do this and places whistleblowing in its international context before focusing on the position in the UK, reviewing PIDA and subsequent legislation. It then concentrates on organisational needs and takes delegates through a practical 10-step programme that promotes successful whistleblowing.
