Whistleblower Protection: From Policy to Lived Experience | World Whistleblower Day 2026

Co-hosted by The Ethics Institute (TEI) and The Whistleblower House (TWBH), this webinar explores the gap between whistleblower protection policy and lived experience. The discussion examines key provisions of South Africa's draft Protected Disclosures Bill and highlights critical gaps in the current protection framework. The webinar features South African whistleblower Bianca Goodson, who shares her experience of speaking up and reflects on the realities faced by many whistleblowers. Her story offers valuable insight into the personal and professional consequences of exposing wrongdoing. The session also considers how organisations can strengthen protection for whistleblowers and create environments where people feel safe to raise concerns. This webinar is relevant for professionals working in governance, ethics, compliance, risk management, and organisational leadership who are committed to strengthening accountability and supporting those who speak up.
