The Basics of Whistle Blowing


In the UK, an employee that ‘blows the whistle’ on their employer is protected by law. This is the case regardless of why they report their employer to the authorities – be it for knowing about their involvement in criminal activity or for a failure to comply with laws such as the health and safety regulations.

Our guidance is designed to help you to deal with whistle blowing in the proper, legal way.  We can also provide you with advice about determining whether an employee is guilty of having made a protected disclosure in relation to your business.
