Fundamentals of Whistleblowing and Protected Disclosure
2 days|Delivered on request
Fundamentals of Whistleblowing and Protected Disclosure is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through cross-border contracting and contract drafting without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because commercial teams routinely sign obligations that legal only sees after a dispute, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with intellectual property, company secretarial practice and corporate governance in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Take ownership of intellectual property rather than escalating it, measured against King IV
- Explain company secretarial practice to someone who does not do the work
- Make a decision about corporate governance without waiting for a specialist
- Spot where data protection under POPIA is failing before it becomes a finding
