Competent authority for the protection of whistleblowers

We manage the external channel and provide support and accompaniment to people who, for reporting (internally or externally) or publicly disclosing a breach, can suffer reprisals. We can adopt precautionary measures and impose sanctions and we work to normalize the fact of reporting and to promote a culture favorable to the alert.

If you find yourself in a situation like the one described and want to get in touch with us, you can send an email to autoritatproteccio@antifrau.cat
