Bank whistleblower policy a "cardboard shield"US NGO Government Accountability Project (GAP) has applauded the World Bank's new policy on whistleblower protection, but expressed disappointment over the failure to ensure two "crucial" protections; those on access to an impartial forum to hear claims, and a guarantee of employment for staff who successfully contest retaliatory dismissal. GAP legal director Tom Devine described the new policy, announced in early June, as "a gaudily decorated cardboard shield". This text may be freely used providing the source is credited.
