Whistleblowing in the Workplace

Understand your obligations and reduce the risk of whistleblowing claims.

Whistleblowing in the workplace presents a significant area of legal risk for employers - and it’s increasingly under scrutiny. Whether the concern involves safety, financial wrongdoing or workplace malpractice, how you respond to a disclosure can have far-reaching consequences.

Handled well, whistleblowing can promote transparency, legal compliance and positive cultural change. Handled poorly, it can lead to costly employment tribunal claims, reputational damage and a breakdown in employee trust.

In this 60-minute webinar, specialist employment lawyers from Thomas Mansfield Solicitors explain how whistleblowing in the workplace is protected under UK law, where employers often go wrong, and what you can do to create a safe environment for disclosures to be raised and resolved fairly.
