Our team can offer help and advice on a wide range of whistleblowing cases, including advising on whistleblowing and related disputes.

What is Whistleblowing

Understanding Protected Disclosures

Whistleblowing occurs when an employee raises concerns about wrongdoing in the workplace that is in the public interest. This may include issues such as criminal activity, health and safety risks, environmental damage, financial misconduct or breaches of legal obligations.

The law protects workers who make a protected disclosure. This means they should not suffer detriment or dismissal as a result of raising genuine concerns.

However, the protection only applies in specific circumstances. It is important to understand whether a disclosure qualifies and how it should be made.

Advice for Employees

Protecting Your Rights When Raising Concerns

If you are considering whistleblowing, it is important to proceed carefully. Raising concerns can feel daunting, particularly if the issue involves senior colleagues or workplace culture.

We advise employees on how to make a protected disclosure in a way that maximises legal protection. This includes guidance on who to report to, how to present concerns and what evidence may be helpful.

If you believe you have suffered detriment, such as bullying, demotion or dismissal after whistleblowing, we can assess your situation and advise on potential claims. In appropriate cases, we represent clients in negotiations and Employment Tribunal proceedings.

Our approach is discreet, supportive and focused on achieving a fair outcome.

Support for Employers

Managing Whistleblowing Allegations Properly

For employers, whistleblowing allegations must be handled with care and consistency. A poorly managed investigation can lead to legal risk and damage to workplace trust.

We assist employers in developing whistleblowing policies that comply with legal requirements and promote a safe reporting culture. When concerns are raised, we provide guidance on how to investigate them fairly and effectively.

We also advise on protecting staff from retaliation claims and ensuring that decisions are well documented and legally sound.

Whistleblowing Disputes and Tribunal Claims

Resolving Sensitive Workplace Issues

Whistleblowing disputes can escalate quickly if not addressed properly. Employees may bring claims for unfair dismissal or detriment, and these cases often involve detailed factual and legal analysis.

Our solicitors provide strong representation for both sides. We focus on early resolution where possible, but we are fully prepared to act in Employment Tribunal proceedings when required.
