When you blow the whistle, what you don’t know can hurt you. That’s why Need to Know goes beyond the basics to give you the full picture — the practical, emotional, legal, and financial realities of whistleblowing in today’s world.
This in-depth, six-module course is your step-by-step guide to surviving — and staying strong — before, during, and after you speak up.
 
What You’ll Learn:
Module 1: Understanding Whistleblowing
Get clear on what whistleblowing is (and isn’t), your legal protections, and how to recognise a protected disclosure.
Module 2: Gathering Evidence
Learn how to document your concerns carefully, store evidence securely, and build a credible case without breaking the law.
Module 3: Employment Tribunals Demystified
Understand the tribunal process, your rights as a claimant, what to expect in hearings, and how to prepare like a pro.
Module 4: Going to the Media
Explore the risks and rewards of going public. Learn how to engage with journalists safely, what protections apply, and when media exposure may help — or harm — your case.

Whistleblowing can come with serious financial fallout. This module helps you plan ahead, protect your income, access support, and make informed financial decisions under pressure.
Module 6: Mental Health & Wellbeing Toolkit
Whistleblowing is not just a legal journey — it’s an emotional one. Build a personalised self-care strategy, learn how to manage stress, and find out where to access professional and peer support.
