Integrity at Work Training

Protected disclosures are an important way for staff to raise concerns, but they can also create an additional level of complexity for managers in dealing with a wide range of reports and employee grievances.

To help managers prepare for these challenges, we provide expert training and guidance on the Protected Disclosures Act 2014 and how to develop supportive work environments for dealing with disclosures.

Training provides employers with an opportunity to share best practice, learn about legal developments and develop strategies to promote ethical standards and build trust amongst staff and stakeholders.

We also offer practical training on anti-corruption and ethics. Courses are delivered by leading experts on whistleblowing and corruption from Ireland and overseas.

Our courses are certified for CPD by the Law Society of Ireland. They are suitable for organisations of all sizes and from all sectors. Each module can be delivered in the classroom or online to suit your requirements.
