Above all scenarios considered to be whistle-blowing.

Brief about WB general policy:

A whistle-blower is a person who exposes any kind of information or activity that is deemed illegal, dishonest, or not correct within an organization that is either private or public.

 

 The information of alleged wrongdoing can be classified in many ways: violation of company policy/rules, law, regulation, or threat to public interest/national security, as well as fraud, and corruption.

 

Those who become whistle-blowers can choose to bring information or allegations to surface either internally or externally.

 

 Internally; a whistle-blower can bring his/her accusations to the attention of other people within the accused organization.

 

Externally; a whistle-blower can bring allegations to light by contacting a third party outside of an accused organization. S/He can reach out to the media, government, law enforcement, or those who are concerned. Whistle-blowers also face stiff reprisal/retaliation from those who are accused or alleged of wrongdoing.
