How our consultancy supports you.
We provide organisations with independent expertise to strengthen whistleblowing arrangements, align with legal and regulatory standards, and build lasting cultures of openness.
Independent, expert diagnosis of strengths and gaps.
Our consultancy starts with a focused review of your whistleblowing arrangements in the agreed area. Through policy analysis, interviews, and available data, we uncover how things operate in practice. This structured approach surfaces strengths, hidden risks, and gaps between written guidance and lived experience.
Actionable recommendations, not just observations.
Our consultancy is designed to drive change, not simply point out problems. You receive tailored, practical recommendations with clear next steps. Whether the priority is clarifying roles such as a Whistleblowers’ Champion, refining reporting channels, improving confidentiality processes, or embedding communication plans, you leave with an actionable roadmap you can start implementing immediately.
Support that aligns with current law and best practice.
Our recommendation are grounded in legal and regulatory expertise. We seek for your arrangements to meet the standards set by the Public Interest Disclosure Act (PIDA), sector regulators, and good governance codes. You gain confidence that your systems reflect both compliance expectations and best practice.
Building capacity and culture to sustain change.
True resilience is built through people and practice. We work closely with your leadership, HR, and whistleblowing leads to embed learning, strengthen communication, and build the internal capacity to sustain an open culture. This approach helps prevent the gradual erosion of trust that can follow after initial improvements and ensures that your commitment to transparency becomes part of everyday behaviour.
Don’t just take our word for it.
