You need a channel.
The EU Whistleblowing Directive requires safe, confidential reporting channels so that misconduct can be reported without fear of retaliation. It applies to a broad range of organisations, and national laws in every member state enforce it.
Public bodies
Government bodies and the entities they own. Member states may exempt municipalities with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants or fewer than 50 workers.
Any size
Financial services, anti-money laundering and other high-risk areas must comply regardless of headcount. Smaller SMEs are otherwise generally exempt.

FAQ
Good questions,
short answers.
Who needs a whistleblowing channel under the EU Directive?
Private companies with 50 or more workers, public bodies, and organisations in areas such as financial services and anti-money laundering regardless of their size. Member states may exempt municipalities with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants or fewer than 50 workers. Each country's own law sets the details.
What deadlines does the Directive set?
A report must be acknowledged within 7 days of receipt, and the reporter must get feedback within a reasonable time of no more than 3 months from that acknowledgement. WBlow runs both clocks for every case and reminds the case handler before either one is due.
Can reports be anonymous?
Yes. Reporters can stay anonymous and still follow their case and answer questions with a private case code, without creating an account. Whether anonymous reports must be followed up depends on national law; WBlow supports them either way.
How long does it take to set up WBlow?
Most organisations are live the same day. Sign up, choose who handles cases and share your reporting link or QR code on your intranet, in your handbook or on a poster. There is nothing to install and no integration project.
Do companies with 50 to 249 employees have to comply?
Yes. Since 17 December 2023, private companies with 50 to 249 workers must also have an internal reporting channel. The Directive lets them share resources for receiving and investigating reports.
Does WBlow work in every EU country?
WBlow is built around the Directive, which every member state has written into its own law, such as the HinSchG in Germany or Ley 2/2023 in Spain. National laws differ on details like anonymous reports and record keeping, and we help you set WBlow up for the countries you operate in.
