Transparency International Belgium publishes an overview of whistleblowing schemes in the Belgian public and private sector\ud \ud One of the biggest challenges in preventing and combating corruption detection and uncovering bribery, fraud, theft of public funds and other forms of misconduct. One of the most direct ways to bring corruption to light is whistleblowing (the "whistleblowing"). Unfortunately, whistleblowers are often the victims of reprisals in the form of harassment, dismissal, threats and even physical violence, and their revelations are systematically ignored.\ud \ud Transparency International Belgium (TI-B) is working towards the establishment of accessible reporting points for whistleblowers and aiming to provide sufficient protection for whistleblowers against retaliation. In this context, TI-B conducted research on whistleblowing schemes in operation in Belgium, both in the public and private sectors. An evaluation of these systems supplemented with recommendations can be viewed in the report 'Providing an alternative to silence: towards greater protection and support for whistleblowers in Belgium. |
