Whistleblower Protection Act

The Whistleblower Protection Act (Hinweisgeberschutzgesetz HinSchG) came into force on July 2, 2023. The Whistleblower Protection Act obliges all institutions with more than 50 employees to set up an internal reporting system.

What does the Whistleblower Protection Act say?

The Whistleblower Protection Act is intended to protect persons who have gained knowledge of breaches of statutory provisions or other binding regulations in the course of their professional activities and report them. Such whistleblowers must be able to disclose grievances without fear of reprisals.

The ESO Education Group and the ISM have decided to set up a reporting office via third parties to ensure confidentiality.
