Whistleblowing Training for Employers Certificate

Whistleblowing Training for Employers

This course will teach you the importance of whistleblowing in an organisation and educate you on what the process entails. It will enable you to implement a whistleblowing policy and train your staff in the procedures and protocols of whistleblowing.

Whistleblowing means that a worker in a company or organisation can report wrongdoing or dangerous practices utilising a protected disclosure to the management or a third party. As management, you need to buy in to and endorse this process to support your workers and bring transparency and ethical practices into your company.

Workers will automatically be protected by whistleblowing law if they follow the correct protocols and report criminal activity or civil disobedience, and you will need to facilitate the process for them.

What You Will Learn:

  • What whistleblowing is.
  • When whistleblowing is acceptable, when it's an obligation, and when it is not appropriate and another form of disclosure should be used.
  • The procedure of whistleblowing and how to train your staff and management to follow the procedure.
  • The risks and problems which could arise from whistleblowing
  • How to ensure that your staff are never penalised or forced to suffer any detriment due to whistleblowing.
  • The legal requirements and regulations related to whistleblowing and your role and responsibility as a manager.

Benefits Of Taking This Course:

  • Have a vital skill to help bring honesty and transparency to your company.
  • Be able to offer guidance and counsel to whistleblowers in your company.
  • Bring a broader spectrum of proficiency into your company including an endorsement of ethical behaviour and transparency.
  • Empower yourself, fellow management and staff.
  • Know how to develop an effective whistleblowing policy that meets legal requirements.

I undertook the Data Protection Certificate course in May 2017. I found the course to have a very in depth amount of detail on Data Protection and the law and legislation around it. It also went into detail on the new Data Protection Act coming in 2018.

I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a course with value for money and also to bulk up their knowledge and perhaps perusing a career in IT or security. The course is audited and comes with a certificate on completion which you are able to print yourself or have one sent out to you for a small fee.

Thoroughly enjoyed this course. Have decided to change my career path but have no real experience or qualifications in the job I really want to do.

I have always wanted to work with animals but ended up in the retail sector. While I do enjoy that, I feel now is the time to get out there and do what I want to do. I have sent in my CV to a dog groomer near me with a copy of my certificate attached. Fingers crossed!

I enjoyed this Diploma so much I shall be having a go at another pet/dog related one in the very near future!

This was a brilliant course that was easy to understand and fits into your lifestyle by being able to access at times that suits you. I needed a refresher course and this ticked all the boxes. One area which I was not aware of was the Employment Allowance Incentive but I now understand this fully. It is also good information on record keeping along with Data Protection. I highly recommend this course and it doesn't have to be expensive to do. The fact that you get a Diploma Certificate at the end only enhances your CV and gives you a sense of satisfaction.

Donna Raynes

Very easy to follow modules with brilliant work sheets to check what you have just learnt. Highly recommended.

Harriet Chandler

When I first started, I was quite anxious, but after seeing the course layout, it was very simple, effective and most important, engaging.

I especially liked the fact you don't become overwhelmed by the courses quantity of modules, and in the end you have to answer a certain amount of questions within a certain time limit. Every module's layout is very clean, fresh and comprehensive when it comes to its explanation.

If there was any part of the course I was unsure of, I would seek help from the advisors via the online chat and I could say they have been very friendly and helpful.

I'm glad I have taken this course through New Skills ACADEMY and I intend to undertake other courses by them.
