At the end of the module, students will have developed an understanding and knowledge of the concept of whistleblowing and the legal requirements that must be satisfied in order for a disclosure to attract statutory protections. Students will develop the ability to identify a whistleblowing situation and to apply their legislative and practical knowledge to that situation. Students will also be able to critically evaluate existing and emerging whistleblowing law principles at national, EU and international level. This module will provide students with the practical tools to develop and implement best practice procedures for dealing with disclosures of wrongdoing in the workplace, as well as dealing with the whistleblower.
