Course Overview

Lesson 1 – Overview

• It is important to raise concerns if keeping quiet could result in harm.
• Harm includes health, safety and environment, as well as reputational or financial damage.
• You should also raise concerns if you believe the law is being broken.
• You are protected from reprisals and other negative consequences if you raise genuine concerns in the appropriate way.

Lesson 2 – Whistleblowing in action

• You are protected from victimisation or other negative consequences if you follow internal procedures for raising concerns.
• You should document your concerns so that you are clear about what evidence you have.
• You can obtain confidential advice from helplines and charities but you must not talk to the press (if you want to remain protected).
• Your organisation policy should explain which external organisations to report to if you are not happy with the response from the organisation.

Lesson 3 – What would you do?

• Whilst it is difficult to give precise rules about when to report, your internal whistleblowing or raising concerns policy will give you guidance.
• You must follow the reporting process outlined, or have a good reason to go outside of it.
• In most cases, your concerns can be dealt with internally, as someone else in your organisation cares as much as you do.
