A set of five working files that organise the Wet bescherming klokkenluiders into phases of open questions, with the statutory text beside each duty.

The Wet bescherming klokkenluiders (BWBR0037852) governs how organisations handle reports of wrongdoing. It reaches employers of all sizes, from small firms to large companies, and any organisation where people work under supervision. The instrument sets duties on confidentiality, on receiving and following up a report, on informing the reporter, on keeping records, and on acting on recommendations.

The toolkit is a set of five working files. Each file covers one phase of the instrument by subject: confidentiality, the internal reporting procedure, the provision of information, registration, and the follow-up of recommendations. A business answers open questions from its own records, and the statutory text is carried verbatim beside each duty.

The sections are served through a connector inside Claude. Nothing is downloaded and nothing is installed. The documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file. The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised.

Which businesses fall under the Wet bescherming klokkenluiders?

The instrument applies to employers in the broad sense, including companies, foundations, and public bodies where people work under supervision. It also reaches organisations that receive reports from outside, such as online sellers and waste producers handling reports about their activities. A business checks its own situation against the definitions in the statutory text.

What does the first working file cover?

The first working file covers confidentiality. It sets out the duty to keep the identity of a reporter confidential and the limits on sharing information. A business answers open questions about its own confidentiality arrangements from its records.

How does the toolkit handle the internal reporting procedure?

The second working file covers the internal reporting procedure. It walks through the steps a business must provide for receiving a report and for handling it within its own organisation. The open questions help a business describe its own procedure from its records.

What does the file on information provision ask?

The third working file covers the provision of information. It addresses what a business must tell a reporter about the handling of a report and about the outcome. The open questions draw on the business's own records of what it communicated.

What is covered by the registration file?

The fourth working file covers registration. It addresses the duty to keep a record of reports received and of the steps taken in response. A business answers open questions about its own register from its records.

How does the toolkit treat the follow-up of recommendations?

The fifth working file covers the follow-up of recommendations. It addresses what a business does with the recommendations that arise from a report. The open questions help a business set out its own follow-up from its records.

How are the working files delivered?

The sections are served through a connector inside Claude. Nothing is downloaded and nothing is installed. A business opens the working files in Claude and answers the open questions there.

What documents does a business receive?

The documents that come back are dated compliance reports. The business keeps them in its own file. Each report records the answers the business gave to the open questions.

Does the toolkit tell a business what to do?

The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised. A business reads the statutory text beside each duty and answers the open questions from its own records. The dated compliance reports record those answers.

How does the toolkit present the statutory text?

The statutory text is carried verbatim beside each duty. A business reads the exact words of the instrument next to the open question it answers. The working files organise the text by subject, so each phase shows the provisions that belong to it.
