The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) has published guidance for its members on whistleblowing as part of its ongoing ethical culture series. The guidance paper aims to raise awareness about ‘speaking up’ and explains what whistleblowing is and the relevant law and regulation, contains information about how to report concerns, and sets out what members should weigh up when preparing to blow the whistle.

The guidance is supplemented by two further papers: a guide for supervisors and managers setting out a six step plan for CII members approached by someone with a whistleblowing concern; and a guide for directors with responsibility for overseeing a whistleblowing programme and ensuring effective arrangements are in place.
