Transparency International Advocacy and Legal Advice Centres: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to access legal support and advice if you are reporting corruption within the public health sector.
These centres provide legal guidance and support for individuals who report corruption occurring within public health sectors.
Who it's for
This support is specifically intended for individuals who find themselves in a position where they must report corruption within the public health sector. If you are a whistleblower witnessing or experiencing corruption in these specific public health environments, this scheme is designed to provide you with a pathway for reporting and protection.
What you get
The primary benefit of these centres is the provision of legal advice and support for whistleblowers. This means you can access professional guidance to help you navigate the complexities of reporting misconduct. The goal is to provide the necessary legal backing to help individuals who are coming forward to expose corruption within the healthcare system.
What it costs you
Accessing this support is not simply a matter of making a claim; it requires a commitment of time and documentation. You must be able to provide evidence of the corruption you are reporting. This means you will need to present the necessary information or documentation that substantiates your claims to the authorities or the centre to move forward with your request for assistance.
The catch to know
It is important to understand the specific scope of these centres. They are designed to focus on systemic corruption—meaning issues that affect the wider system or many people at once. They are not intended to resolve individual workplace grievances, such as personal disputes with a manager or standard employment disagreements that do not involve systemic corruption.

- Ensure the corruption you are reporting is related to the public health sector.
