Digital Workshop: Whistleblowing - Implementing an ethical, responsible and lawful framework

Written By Andrew McLeish

The Governance Institute and Australia and Stopline are very proud to announce the online collaborative work shop for the successful implementation of an ethical whistleblowing program.

Stopline’s Andrew McLeish and Dianne Cubbins are very proud to have been asked by the Governance Institute of Australia to contribute to this workshop.

From the Governance Institute of Australia:

“The 1 January 2020 deadline for having a whistleblower policy has passed. Developing an effective program beyond the policy requires translating the policy into realistic processes and practices. Learn how to effectively lead and manage commitment and trust at the critical communication points to achieve the best outcome for the whistleblower and your organisation.

Learning outcomes:

  • Review whistleblower provisions required by 1 January 2020

  • Apply best practice in leading the development of trust and commitment to whistleblower provisions across critical roles

  • Investigate steps to create an environment for effective outcomes, both for the whistleblower and your organisation

  • Examine case studies to help you implement an ethical, responsible and lawful framework.”
