In today’s workplace, line and middle managers are often the first to hear concerns from employees—but not every concern is the same. Some are personal grievances, others are minor grumbles, and a few may be serious whistleblowing disclosures that require legal protection and formal handling. This course is designed to help managers confidently recognise the difference, respond appropriately, and ensure that protected disclosures are managed in line with UK law and organisational policy.
Tailored specifically for UK-based line and middle managers, this course provides practical guidance on identifying whistleblowing concerns, understanding the legal criteria for protected disclosures (including the public interest test), and distinguishing them from standard grievances or everyday complaints. Through real-world examples, decision-making tools, and case studies, managers will learn how to handle disclosures safely, maintain confidentiality, avoid retaliation, and support a culture of ethical reporting.
