The EU Directive makes it clear that effective detection and prevention of workplace misconduct is achieved when reporting is done closest to the source of the problem. This is why it encourages internal reporting, i.e. directly through an organisation\u2019s reporting channels.
Although internal reporting is encouraged as the first option, the Directive also says people should be able to make an informed decision on how and when to report suspicions of Union law. It therefore requires Member States to allow for external reporting of whistleblowing cases.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\u00a0External reporting is when information on suspected wrongdoing is reported externally to a competent authority. It is on each Member State to designate a competent authority to establish independent and autonomous external reporting channels for receiving and handling whistleblowing reports.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
