Message Board: Keeping Whistleblowers Supported and Engaged
.jpeg)
A person’s decision to report misconduct is often one of the most difficult choices they will make in their professional life. Once they raise a concern, staying connected with them is essential. Without open communication, whistleblowers can feel abandoned, lose trust in the organisation, or experience unnecessary stress. Over time, poor communication can contribute to frustration, dissatisfaction, and resentment, which may harm organisational culture and morale.
Our Message Board provides a secure and user-friendly way to maintain ongoing, two-way communication with whistleblowers, helping organisations balance openness with the protection of anonymity.
Balancing openness with anonymity
Many organisations struggle to keep communication lines open after someone reports a concern. This gap can leave whistleblowers feeling unheard, which discourages future reports and may cause employees to share frustrations with colleagues or management. Consistent, supportive communication reassures whistleblowers that their concerns are taken seriously, building confidence in the program and encouraging others to speak up.
Our platform offers multiple options for secure communication, including informal discussions with senior managers, escalation paths to independent governance functions, and third-party reporting systems. These options ensure every whistleblower can use the channel that feels safest and most effective for them.
Secure and encrypted communication
Our Message Board is built with strong encryption, ensuring all messages are securely stored and accessible only to authorised individuals. This is like placing a concern in a sealed envelope that only the right people can open. With this level of protection, organisations can genuinely uphold anonymity. Whistleblowers can communicate openly without fear of being identified if they choose to stay anonymous.
Simple, user-friendly experience
The Message Board is designed for ease of use so both whistleblowers and case handlers can revisit conversations, share updates, and provide or request further information at any time. This clear, straightforward process supports whistleblowers through what can often be a stressful experience.
From our experience, what matters most to whistleblowers is not always the specific outcome of a case, but the sense that they are heard, protected, and their concerns are taken seriously.
Value for investigations
Ongoing communication also helps organisations collect additional information needed to test, progress, and resolve disclosures effectively. By following up securely and anonymously, investigators can gain clarity on key details, increasing the chances of a timely and fair resolution.
Designed with practical experience
The team at Veremark Whistleblower Technology Solutions has extensive hands-on experience creating solutions that place people at the center of the process. Our Message Board combines practical knowledge with secure technology to ensure both whistleblowers and organisations stay engaged and informed throughout every step.
How It Works: Maintaining Communication and Building Trust
1. Whistleblower submits a report
They access our secure platform, submit a concern, and receive a unique code to return to their case.
2. Secure messaging portal opens
Both the whistleblower and authorised investigators can send and receive encrypted messages using the code, without revealing identities.
3. Two-way communication continues
Investigators can request clarifying details, and whistleblowers can share updates, ask questions, or express concerns at any stage.
4. Updates and status tracking
Whistleblowers can check the progress of their case, see updates, and confirm that their information is being acted upon.
5. Support and transparency maintained
Consistent communication reassures whistleblowers that their disclosure is taken seriously and handled professionally, building trust in the process.
A communication channel built for safety and support
Our Message Board keeps whistleblowers engaged, informed, and confident throughout the process, helping organizations resolve concerns effectively and build a culture of trust.

FAQs
This depends on the industry and type of role you are recruiting for. To determine whether you need reference checks, identity checks, bankruptcy checks, civil background checks, credit checks for employment or any of the other background checks we offer, chat to our team of dedicated account managers.
Many industries have compliance-related employment check requirements. And even if your industry doesn’t, remember that your staff have access to assets and data that must be protected. When you employ a new staff member you need to be certain that they have the best interests of your business at heart. Carrying out comprehensive background checking helps mitigate risk and ensures a safer hiring decision.
Again, this depends on the type of checks you need. Simple identity checks can be carried out in as little as a few hours but a worldwide criminal background check for instance might take several weeks. A simple pre-employment check package takes around a week. Our account managers are specialists and can provide detailed information into which checks you need and how long they will take.
All Veremark checks are carried out online and digitally. This eliminates the need to collect, store and manage paper documents and information making the process faster, more efficient and ensures complete safety of candidate data and documents.
In a competitive marketplace, making the right hiring decisions is key to the success of your company. Employment background checks enables you to understand more about your candidates before making crucial decisions which can have either beneficial or catastrophic effects on your business.
Background checks not only provide useful insights into a candidate’s work history, skills and education, but they can also offer richer detail into someone’s personality and character traits. This gives you a huge advantage when considering who to hire. Background checking also ensures that candidates are legally allowed to carry out certain roles, failed criminal and credit checks could prevent them from working with vulnerable people or in a financial function.
