Whistleblowing Awareness
Whistleblowing refers to the act of reporting certain types of unlawful wrongdoing and encourages workers to raise legitimate concerns without fear of retaliation or victimisation.
An effective whistleblowing procedure creates a culture based on transparency and accountability.
Employees will only be considered whistleblowers if they have reported certain types of information that are protected by law. For the information to be protected, it must meet certain criteria.
