WHISTLEBLOWING IN SMALL ORGANISATIONS
Creating a healthy whistlelowing culture in smaller organisations
Whistleblowing is an essential risk and compliance tool in an organisation of any size, helping to prevent wrongdoing, reputational damage and protect staff and society.
We recommend our Whistleblowing Scanner assessment tool to organisations with a staff count between 50-250. However, we recognise that not all organisations are the same and that the staff count might not be representative of the complexities your industry might face in terms of risk management. If you wish to assess your organisation’s whistleblowing set up using the Whistleblowing Scanner, please click here to learn more and to purchase.
Many smaller organisations benefit from regular Masterclasses on the topics such as Handling a Whistleblowing Concern, Investigating a Whistleblowing Concern and Preventing Whistleblower Victimisation, amongst others. These interactive sessions are perfect for delegates seeking to better understand whistleblowing practice, the legal framework and how to implement effective arrangements.
