Whistleblowing is on the rise
Whistleblowing is on the rise
27 June 2024
So far, this financial year, the Ombudsman has had 58 per cent more protected disclosures than last year.
In a recent Ombudsman run survey, 66 percent felt their job wouldn't be safe if they reported serious wrongdoing as a witness.
Chief Ombudsman Peter Boshier says he has sensitivity towards those fearing retribution for disclosing anything - as it lets people keep doing unsafe and wrong practices.
He says his ideal is to raise people's confidence so they feel safe to disclose.
