New Online Course: Whistleblowing Training

Whistleblowing Training is now available online.

This CPD-certified course helps staff and managers understand how to raise concerns safely, follow your organisation’s reporting procedure and handle issues appropriately. It explains what counts as whistleblowing, who is protected by law and how to prevent retaliation.

Providing this training helps employers meet regulator expectations for effective speak-up arrangements and demonstrates your commitment to transparency and accountability.

Why Is Whistleblowing Training Important?

Whistleblowing plays a vital role in helping organisations identify problems early and maintain a culture of openness and accountability. Yet, many employees still hesitate to raise concerns because they fear retaliation, believe nothing will change or are unsure what counts as whistleblowing.

When concerns go unreported, issues such as misconduct, safety risks or fraud can escalate into serious legal, financial or reputational damage. A clear, trusted reporting process is essential for managing these risks and meeting regulatory expectations.

Whistleblowing Training helps staff understand what qualifies as whistleblowing, how to report concerns safely and what legal protections apply under the Public Interest Disclosure Act (PIDA). It also explains the difference between whistleblowing and personal grievances and outlines the correct internal and external routes for raising concerns.

Providing this training helps employers demonstrate that effective speak-up arrangements are in place, as expected by regulators, public bodies and stakeholders. It also builds trust within your organisation by ensuring employees, contractors and agency workers feel confident that their concerns will be handled fairly and without retaliation.
