Unite head says anonymity means nothing when the line is operated by government
A trade union on the Isle of Man doesn't believe there have been any 'tangible positives' from the implementation of a public sector integrity line for whistleblowers.
A Tynwald committee looking at whether the Isle of Man Government's policies in this area are fit for purpose has heard its first evidence.
The anonymous line provides a confidential way for employees to report any major wrongdoings involving the Island's public service and was launched in 2022 after the conclusion of the Ranson tribunal.
But Head of the Isle of Man branch of Unite the Union Debbie Halsall told the committee there's no confidence in it because it's operated by the government:
