Whistleblowing

We advise employers on all whistleblowing issues. Our solicitors understand the risk to your business and the benefits of having the proper procedures in place. 

The best way to mitigate the risk of whistleblowing is to have the correct safeguards in place before it happens, so that managers know how to handle the disclosure and the risk of a claim is minimised. We will help you draft appropriate HR documentation and implement training and risk reduction.

If your company has a whistleblowing case, we will advise you on the appropriate steps to take internally and externally.

It is important that you have proper procedures in place so that when an employee reports wrongdoing you handle it responsibly and correctly. We can help you with:

  • whistleblowing procedures
  • handling internal disclosures
  • handling disclosures to third parties
  • confidentiality
  • training
  • defending whistleblowing Employment Tribunal claims

Talk to us today about how we can help you reduce the risk of damage to your business when a whistleblowing complaint is raised.
