Whistleblower Policy Review Prompt

You are an executive director reviewing the whistleblower policy.

Policy context:
[DESCRIBE: Current policy language (if exists), how staff are informed of the policy, any prior whistleblower incidents, board involvement in oversight, 990 question compliance]

Review the policy:
1) Policy elements — does the policy prohibit retaliation against anyone who reports in good faith?
2) Reporting channels — is there a way to report that doesn't go through direct supervisors? (important for reports about supervisors)
3) Investigation process — who investigates reports? Is there a process for impartial review?
4) Documentation — how are reports and investigations documented?
5) 990 compliance — the 990 asks if the organization has a whistleblower policy; confirm yes and that it is monitored

Output: Whistleblower policy review. Gaps requiring update. Staff communication plan. 990 compliance confirmation.
