Whistleblowing (UK)

The term whistleblower is used to describe someone who exposes dangerous or illegal activity in a public or private organisation. It’s an incredibly valuable activity because it brings to light all sorts of workplace incidents such as health and safety risks, potential environmental problems, fraud, deficiencies in the care of vulnerable people and cover-ups. It’s essential that employees have trust in the system so they can act with confidence, knowing that concerns will be taken seriously and they’ll be protected against victimisation. By the end of this course, you’ll know everything you need to know about whistleblowing.
