Course content

8 chapters, 35 slides

EU Whistleblower Directive 2019/1937 and the German HinSchG since 2 July 2023: who is a “reporting person”, which violations are covered, the 50-employee threshold for the internal reporting channel, scope of the BfJ as external channel under § 19.

Setup and requirements under §§ 12-18 HinSchG: channel diversity (oral, written, in person), accessibility, expertise evidence for officers, organizational independence, anonymous reporting handling.

Seven-day acknowledgment, three-month feedback, follow-up actions, closure: the full process from intake to case end with documentation duties under § 11 HinSchG (3-year retention).

§ 8 HinSchG confidentiality requirement: who may know the identity, technical safeguards, anonymous report handling, file access in group structures, exceptions to confidentiality.

§ 36 HinSchG with reverse burden of proof: what counts as retaliation (termination, transfer, mobbing, blocked promotion), damages exposure, HR discipline, evidence preservation.

Data protection inside the reporting channel: legal basis under Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR, processor relationship for external service providers, retention periods, data subject access rights of the accused.

Three realistic SME scenarios — suspicion of corruption, discrimination claim, data breach — with step-by-step response and typical pitfalls for the officer.

The top duties for every manager: publicize the reporting channel, no retaliation, treat reports confidentially, document everything, meet deadlines — with a self-check list and § 40 HinSchG fine framework (up to 50,000 EUR).
