Identity protection of whistleblowers stalls progression

Committee hears more evidence

The Select Committee of Tynwald on Whistleblowing heard oral evidence in public from witnesses yesterday.

Director of Audit Advisory Division, Steven Hind was among those providing evidence.

The current whistleblowing policy guarantees identity protection, however, Mr Hind stated without that information, cases could 'hit a brick wall' in terms of progression.

Dollin Mercer asked Chair of the Committee Julie Edge what she thought of the dilemma this caused.
