Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the presentation.
Webinar outcomes
By the end of the webinar, participants will learn about different types of corrupt conduct in the public sector and be able to identify red flags and warning signs within the workplace. Participants will learn how and where to report this conduct and take away key points on how to prevent corrupt behaviour.
