Dealing with a whistleblower checklist

Checklist to follow when a worker wishes to make a disclosure or you are involved in a disclosure.

If a worker wishes to make a disclosure to you under the Public Interest Disclosure Act or you are involved in the disclosure procedure in any way: 

  1. If you have one, read the Whistleblower`s Policy and ensure that the worker has a copy 
  2.  Is the proposed disclosure of a particularly sensitive nature? If not, ask the worker if he would like to be accompanied by a colleague.
