Whistleblowing Support for Employers – Training

Build competence and confidence across your organisation with Protect's Whistleblowing Training.

Every organisation’s whistleblowing system depends on people: it only works if leaders, managers, investigators, and staff understand their role, feel safe to use it, and act fairly and consistently. Weak or inconsistent training undermines trust, creates confusion, and leaves whistleblowers exposed. Protect’s whistleblowing training helps you embed clarity and competence in every level of your organisation.

Why organisations choose Protect Training.

Protect’s whistleblowing training transforms policies into practice, helping leaders, managers, and teams build confidence, competence, and a lasting culture of openness.

Training in action

Translate policy into everyday practice with confidence.

Whistleblowing frameworks only work when people understand their role within them. Our training makes your policies real by showing staff how to identify a concern, when and how to raise it, and what support they can expect. Real case studies and practical exercises help participants turn written policy into confident day-to-day behaviour.

Psychological safety at work

Build psychological safety and trust across teams.

Fear of speaking up remains one of the biggest barriers to effective whistleblowing. Our sessions help employees and managers recognise those fears and overcome them. By demonstrating what good listening looks like, how retaliation is prevented, and how reports are handled fairly, training builds trust and encourages earlier, safer reporting.

Leaders learning whistleblowing best practice

Equip leaders, investigators, and managers with essential skills.

Handling disclosures requires judgement, confidentiality, and empathy. We develop the specific skills your leaders and investigators need to manage concerns properly, protect all parties involved, and maintain organisational integrity. The result is a consistent, fair, and credible process that staff and regulators can trust.

Training for compliance and improvement

Demonstrate compliance and continuous improvement.

Training helps reduce the risk of mishandled disclosures and inconsistent responses. Protect’s programmes are aligned with legal obligations under PIDA and sector regulations, supporting your compliance and strengthening your internal assurance. Every session is designed to build capability, confidence, and credibility across your organisation.
