Are you a Whistleblowing Champion and responsible for ensuring and overseeing the integrity and effectiveness of your organisations whistleblowing policies and procedures?

How do you ensure you fulfil your regulatory obligations as a Whistleblowing champion? What are the risks of getting it wrong? What tools do you need to use to get it right?  

Would it be beneficial to gain a deeper understanding of your role and help to lead the way in developing robust arrangements and achieving a culture where staff feel able to raise concerns?

If you answered yes to any of the above then this specialist online masterclass will cover the key topics that will help you in your role as Champion, including:

• The shift in what is considered whistleblowing: how to address and act on it
• The FCA requirements: the role and responsibilities of the Whistleblowing champion
• Direction of travel and risks of getting it wrong
• Embedding and evaluating best practice arrangements
• Handling whistleblowing disclosures appropriately
• Anonymity, confidentiality and protecting the whistleblower
• Leadership and communications
• Overseeing arrangements, key considerations, transparency, and accountability
