Whistleblowing Awareness
Overview
Do you know what whistleblowing is? And, equally importantly, when it might be necessary and how you might go about it?
This course provides an introduction to best practice in relation to whistleblowing internationally.
It defines what whistleblowing is, provides key examples of whistleblowing events and outlines best practices including considerations of the public interest, internal and external reporting channels and confidentiality.
