What this course covers
When people feel safe to speak up, organisations can catch problems before they escalate into safety failures, scandals or legal claims. This programme explains what whistleblowing is, what types of wrongdoing qualify for protection, and how the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 works in practice.
Learners also cover the difference between a whistleblowing disclosure and a personal grievance, along with how managers should receive concerns responsibly. The course helps organisations build and sustain a genuine speak-up culture.
