A single, shared and independent professional adviser in southwest France

Six département management centres in the Occitanie region have grouped together to hire a single professional to act as an adviser in three areas (ethics, whistleblowing and separation of church and state). The adviser is a former financial judge from a regional audit office; his status as a person "external" to the local authority is perceived as a guarantee of neutrality by staff, who also appreciate having a single point of contact.
