Protecting lives and reducing risk in construction with the UK’s leading whistleblowing experts.
Construction is high-risk and heavily regulated. Corners cut on safety, cover-ups on site, or procurement fraud do more than endanger lives. They can lead to prosecutions, project shutdowns, and lasting damage to reputation.
Protect helps construction firms build confidential, trusted whistleblowing systems so health and safety concerns, fraud, or regulatory breaches are raised early, dealt with properly, and never allowed to escalate.

Why contractors, developers and builders work with us.
Protect gives construction firms the independent expertise and tools to raise standards, meet new regulatory demands, and stop risks before they harm people or projects.
Elevate health, safety and quality standards.
Unsafe practices, poor materials, or design flaws can cost lives and bring projects to a halt. We help you set up whistleblowing channels that act as reliable early warning systems, so concerns are raised quickly, investigated properly, and resolved before they escalate.
Identify weak spots with Whistleblowing Benchmark >
Building Safety Act 2022 and legal duties.
The Building Safety Act 2022 places stricter responsibilities on duty holders and greater accountability for safety. We help you design whistleblowing frameworks that go beyond minimum legal standards, giving your Board and regulators confidence that risks are being identified and managed early.

Stop fraud, corruption and costly mistakes.
Whistleblowing is also a safeguard against financial and reputational harm. From fake invoicing and kickbacks to corner-cutting that undermines quality, our consultancy services help you uncover issues before they drain profit margins, delay projects, or damage trust with clients and stakeholders.
Consultancy tailored to your risk profile >
Give everyone on site a voice.
The best insights often come from those closest to the work. We help you build a culture where subcontractors, site teams, and contractors feel psychologically safe to raise concerns, knowing they will be listened to and treated fairly. Our training equips leaders and investigators to handle disclosures with professionalism and empathy.
