Whistleblowing

Whistleblowing is the name given to the disclosure of information about a wrongdoing that the Company is responsible for.

You’re a Whistleblower if you’re a worker and you report certain types of wrongdoing, either because you know or you suspect it. This will usually be something you’ve seen at work. You must genuinely and reasonably believe that the wrongdoing you disclose is in the public interest. This means it must affect others, for example the general public.

As a Whistleblower you are protected by law – you should not be treated unfairly or lose your job because you ‘blow the whistle’. By making a qualifying disclosure, you are protected by The Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998.

You can raise your concern at any time about an incident that happened in the past, is happening now, or you believe will happen in the near future.

Our Whistleblowing policy is available for further information.
