EU Whistleblowing Directive — what is it about?

The EU Whistleblowing Directive is intended to ensure that whistleblowers who detect breaches of EU law in their work can report them without being subject to negative measures. The Directive requires acknowledgement of receipt and feedback to be given within a specified time limit.

What does the Whistleblowing Directive require?

The EU Whistleblowing Directive obliges the creation of a whistleblowing channel in which the whistleblower’s identity is protected. All reports of suspicions of misdemeanours must be recorded and processed professionally, and an acknowledgement of receipt must be given to the person submitting the report within seven days of receiving the report. A whistleblower must be given feedback on the handling of the report within three months.

With the Granite Whistleblow reporting tool, reports can be made anonymously via the channel or by the organisation’s own investigation or audit.
