With whistleblowing cases regularly making the news headlines, there is increasing recognition that whistleblowing plays an essential role in risk management within all organisations, regardless of industry sector or size. Understanding how to manage whistleblowing and foster a healthy speak-up culture is vital.
Enabling workers to safely voice concerns – and having the infrastructure in place to hear and deal with those concerns – is a cornerstone of good governance, and is at the heart of a healthy and open culture. Beyond ensuring legal and regulatory compliance, we help our clients to consider how to respond effectively to concerns in order to build a culture which promotes “listening up”, and not just “speaking up”.

We have designed a suite of training packages – for all staff, for managers and for compliance functions – to help our clients navigate the challenges associated with whistleblowing, and to help embed a healthy culture of speaking and listening up within their organisations.
With employees increasingly feeling empowered (and being encouraged) to speak up, we often help our clients either by undertaking whistleblowing investigations for them, or by advising them on how to investigate concerns themselves
