Whistleblowing
by Sarah
The British Standards Institute (BSI) has produced a Whistleblowing Code of Practice. It sets out the good practice arrangements for the introduction, operation and review of whilstleblowing provisions.
In our experience the whistleblowing provisions are not as well used as other employment legislation. However, in a climate where business practices are under the ethical spotlight we may see it being used more and more.
In order to receive a free copy of the Code of Practice you need to register your details with the BSI.

Interesting post. I was just reading an article in The Washington Post about a lawsuit which is questioning the constitutionality of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires publicly traded organizations to establish a process to manage whistleblower complaints. According to the Post, it seems likely that the Public company Accounting Oversight Board, who created the act, will lose their case. This could have an interesting affect on federal whistleblowing regulations and technologies, so it should be an interesting story to keep your eye on.
