In this 2 hour and 30 minute session, the Independent Administrative Authority for Whistleblower Protection and its work as an external information channel for those autonomous communities that do not have autonomous authority in this matter was presented.
The training technician shared the experience of the AVAF as an external information channel over 6 years, as well as the recommendations and guides prepared by the Agency that may be useful for the public employees of the SEF.
