Whistleblowing hotline for confidential reporting
Employees are often the first people to witness any unethical behaviour within an organisation. By making it easy for them to make a protected disclosure, you can resolve any wrongdoing and even protect lives.
Our whistleblowing service includes a confidential whistleblowing hotline to ensure employees are listened to as part of your overall approach to risk management.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Whistleblowing hotline
Employees often worry about making a disclosure about any wrongdoing they witness, for fear of reprisal. Or due to concern that no action will be taken.
By providing access to our confidential whistleblowing hotline, you will find employees feel more confident reporting any wrongdoing they witness.
As an employer it is good practice to create a transparent and safe working environment where workers can speak up.

WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTION ACT
Whistleblowing service responsibilities
In line with UK Government’s whistleblowing guidance and code of practice for employers, a worker who makes a disclosure must reasonably believe two things:
1. They are acting in the public’s interest (meaning personal grievances and complaints are not usually covered by whistleblowing law)
2. Past, present or likely future wrongdoing falling into one or more of the following categories:
- criminal offences (this may include, for example, types of financial impropriety such as fraud)
- failure to comply with an obligation set out in law
- miscarriages of justice
- endangering of someone’s health and safety
- damage to the environment
- covering up wrongdoing in the above categories
Whistleblowing law is located in the Employment Rights Act 1996 (as amended by the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998). It provides the right for a worker to take a case to an employment tribunal if they have been victimised at work. Or lost their job because they have ‘blown the whistle’.
Clear whistleblowing policies demonstrate that the organisation welcomes information being brought to the attention of management, at the highest level. To support ethics and compliance and health and safety.
