What is a specialized course in the context of the Whistleblower Protection Act?
The Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG) was passed in May 2023 and came into force in July 2023. The HinSchG obliges companies to set up an internal reporting office for all employees. The main purpose of this law is to ensure the protection of whistleblowers.
The operation of an internal reporting office requires qualified staff to handle incoming reports. Probably the most important requirement for your staff is the expertise mandated by Section 15 (2) HinSchG, which consists of various requirements that must be met.
