Our new guidebook – written in collaboration with trade unions, lawyers, whistleblowers and employers – takes a deep dive into the issue of confidentiality. Including best practices and practical resources, the guide follows a comprehensive and manageable structure to steer your organisation to success using the most underestimated tool of all: whistleblowing.
