Whistleblowing

The advantages of an independent whistleblowing hotline

Having a whistleblowing service which is demonstrably independent can benefit an organisation as it provides a secure alternative for employees to report any serious concerns.

More than half of employees will not directly report a serious concern for fear of being identified and may feel more confident in making a report to an impartial party who is not associated with the organisation they work for. Independent hotlines also make it easier to maintain ongoing contact with anonymous whistleblowers, and employees themselves are likely to have more confidence that their concerns will reach senior management speedily and unedited. SpeakUp delivers all the advantages of an independent hotline, plus…

  • it provides a multilingual service for non-English speaking people who might otherwise not make a report
  • it is available 24/7, 365 days of the year
  • it offers a unique choice of reporting channels; and
  • as a completely independent party, we do not get involved in the investigation, influence the report in any way or take sides.
