Public interest disclosures training
Our public interest disclosures (PID) training provides an overview of the public authority’s responsibilities under the Public Interest Disclosures Act 1994 and the roles and responsibilities of parties involved in disclosures. We can tailor training content to meet your agency’s training needs.
