Our public interest disclosures (PID) training provides an overview of the responsibilities of public authorities under the Public Interest Disclosures Act 1994 and the roles and responsibilities of those involved in disclosures. We can tailor the training content to meet the needs of individual agencies.

It is important that people in the public sector are aware of the why, what, how and who of making and managing disclosures. The NSW Ombudsman offers the following free training on public interest disclosures:

• Public interest disclosures general awareness information sessions
• Public interest disclosures management training
• Public interest disclosures e-learning

Our training sessions help public authorities to:

• promote awareness of the importance of public interest disclosures
• establish a positive reporting environment
• comply with the requirements of the Public Interest Disclosures Act 1994
• manage public interest disclosures effectively.
