As a professional, you have an obligation to report wrongdoing, risks or malpractice at work. By blowing the whistle in this way, you’re doing the right thing.
Raising a concern in the public interest can be vital in preventing harm and improving processes in both the public and private sectors. Because of this, there are laws in place to protect whistleblowers.
It’s important however to get expert legal advice when blowing the whistle on wrongdoing at work. Whether you’re reporting issues to your employer, a regulator, or both, our whistleblowing solicitors can support and protect you.
We’ve helped people at every stage of the process, from advising on how to blow the whistle through to seeking compensation for those unfairly dismissed as a result of exposing wrongdoing. Our business team also help employers to create proper policies to support everyone through the process.
If you’re thinking of becoming a whistleblower, it’s important to understand the process and how best to protect your position and future career. Our specialist solicitors can guide you through every step.
Depending on the industry you work in, there may be specific routes you need to go down in order to blow the whistle. It’s important you get this right and we can help to ensure that you do.
If you’ve already blown the whistle, you may find that your employer is treating you less favourably. Sadly this is common. If you’ve been shunned or even dismissed after blowing the whistle, we can support you through internal grievance processes or in a claim at the Employment Tribunal.
