In order to fulfil these purposes, AIPI develops functions of management of the external channel of information, protection and support for reporting persons, exercise of the sanctioning power in the legally foreseen cases, issuance of reports and recommendations, and promotion of the information culture.
It is regulated in the Law 2/2023, of February 20 and in Royal Decree 1101/2024, of 29 October approving the Statute of the Independent Authority for Whistleblower Protection.
