Whistleblowing is the act of reporting wrongdoing in the public interest. Under the Employment Rights Act 1996, workers are protected if they make a qualifying protected disclosure.
To qualify for legal protection:
No. A grievance is typically a personal complaint affecting the individual. Whistleblowing involves wider public interest concerns, such as fraud, safety risks, or criminal conduct.
There is no qualifying period. Protection applies from day one of employment.
No. Compensation for whistleblowing dismissal is unlimited in UK employment tribunals.
Yes. Individuals who victimise whistleblowers can be personally named in tribunal proceedings.
It depends. If the issue affects others, creates systemic risk, or is deliberately concealed, it may qualify as a protected disclosure – particularly under developments linked to the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023.
Yes. It is suitable for financial services, healthcare, public sector, education, charities and private organisations.
The course takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.
