Description
Whistleblowing is not favoured in Estonia. The problem is systemic because Estonian legislation does not sufficiently regulate whistleblowing and society shares a negative view on reporting. The aim of the project is to ensure that whistleblower''s are protected in the Estonian legislative framework. For that TIEE (Corruption-free Estonia, i.e. Transparency International Estonia chapter) engages in advocacy activities to ensure that EU Directive on whistleblowing is adopted to the Estonian legislation with highest regard to whistleblowers’ rights. Legal Counsel of TIEE develops recommendations that are guided by international standards, Transparency International and Whistleblowing International Network experiences.
To ensure that whistleblowing mechanisms are adopted in more enterprises, TIEE will develop a freely accessible and thorough e-course and information and guidance materials. Members of the Business Integrity Forum (BIF) and TIEE expert members guide these activities. To raise awareness of whistleblowing among both Estonian and Russian-speaking youth an information campaign will be carried out.
