A whistleblower might have a personal agenda or an axe to grind. They may be deliberately trying to sabotage a company or individual. Or they may revel in causing trouble. For many years, that was the public opinion of a whistleblower, primarily because those who felt compelled to speak out often did so behind a cloak of anonymity. This was because they feared for their future, their job, or, in some extreme cases, their well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, we have a much more positive view of whistleblowers. They\u2019re seen as people who are brave enough to speak out against corruption, wrongdoing, or unacceptable working conditions and practices. So, who do you talk to if you\u2019ve reached your limit and need to speak out?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-whistleblower\">What is a whistleblower?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the term used to describe a worker who passes on information concerning certain types of wrongdoing. Such a report is known as making a \u2018protected disclosure\u2019. You could be a whistleblower if you see something at work affecting others (including the general public) and decide to speak out. It may be signs of malpractice, a risk or actual damage to the environment, a criminal offence or perhaps dangerous working conditions that could potentially put lives at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-my-job-at-risk\">Is my job at risk?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">The Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislation.gov.uk\/ukpga\/1998\/23\/contents\" target=\"_blank\">PIDA<\/a>) protects whistleblowers. This<\/span> means it\u2019s against the law for anyone to be treated unfairly or dismissed because they have blown the whistle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The law protects those who expose severe issues within the workplace. So no, you should not be concerned about losing your job because you\u2019ve chosen to speak out, but understandably, you may be. If you\u2019re a worker, for example, an employee in the NHS, a police officer or an office worker, your job security is protected, even if you decide to go public with your concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trainees and interns are also protected, as are agency workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The law holds that workers are protected against both victimisation and dismissal where a protected disclosure has been made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-gagging-clause\">What is a \u2018gagging clause\u2019?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A \u2018gagging clause\u2019 or confidentiality clause, as it\u2019s more commonly referred to, is an agreement either within a contract of employment or drawn up separately between an employer and an employee. They commonly appear in settlement agreements and other forms of severance agreements. Such clauses prevent employees from disclosing information about the company or people they may work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislation.gov.uk\/ukpga\/1996\/18\/contents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Employment Rights Act 1996<\/a> renders gagging clauses unenforceable if they prevent a worker from making a protected disclosure. Even if one has been signed, a whistleblower can still expose any wrongdoing as long as it\u2019s in the public interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Care must be taken not to confuse these with reasonable non-disclosure agreements, which are generally included from the outset within a contract and cover things such as not disclosing to other potential rival companies the details of customers or clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-personal-grievances\">Personal grievances<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Suppose your issue may be regarded as a personal grievance rather than something that could affect others. In that case, you may not be covered by any legislation that protects whistleblowers. If you feel the issue is more of a personal grievance, you should refer to your employer\u2019s grievance policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are uncertain, you should seek legal advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-do-i-tell\">Who do I tell?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You can go directly to your employer personally or anonymously, but this may not have any real effect. Your employer may have a whistleblowing policy in a staff handbook that you should read before considering your next steps. Such a policy will explain what you should expect and should also direct you to external bodies if you cannot speak to your employer directly. However, regardless of their policy, you can still report your concern to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can go to a \u2018prescribed person\u2019. The prescribed person will depend on what you are blowing the whistle on. Remember that once you pass on the information to your employer or your prescribed person, you won\u2019t have any further influence on proceedings. You can find a list of prescribed persons defined by the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/blowing-the-whistle-list-of-prescribed-people-and-bodies--2\/whistleblowing-list-of-prescribed-people-and-bodies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>. They include Ofcom, the Accounts Commission for Scotland, The Bank of England, HMRC, The Comptroller and Auditor General, the SFO, the FCA, and other bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are dissatisfied with how your employer handled your concern, you can tell someone else (e.g., a more senior member of staff) or a prescribed person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your employment rights will be protected whether you report your concerns to your employer or to a prescribed person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wider disclosures than that may be permitted but are very fact-sensitive. For example, disclosure to the media will only be protected in limited circumstances. Where disclosure is not permitted, you will not retain the protection given by PIDA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To bring a successful claim in the Employment Tribunal (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/courts-tribunals\/employment-tribunal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ET<\/a>) if you are dismissed (or suffer a detriment), you will need to show the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>that you made a disclosure;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>you followed the correct disclosure procedure, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You were dismissed or suffered a detriment from making the disclosure.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>It is worthwhile noting that since June 2013, when a case goes to the ET, and the ET thinks the disclosure was made in bad faith, it has the power to reduce compensation by up to 25%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-if-you-don-t-get-the-response-you-think-your-situation-merits-talk-to-employment-lawyer-karen-cole-today\">If you don\u2019t get the response you think your situation merits, talk to employment lawyer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riaabarkergillette.com\/uk\/our-team\/karen-cole\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Karen Cole<\/a> today.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Note: This article is not legal advice; it provides information of general interest about current legal issues.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whistleblowers are protected by the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998, which means it\u2019s against the law for anyone to be treated unfairly or dismissed because they have blown the whistle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-5935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-insight-article","tag-employment"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
