Ignored Warnings, Preventable Harm: Why the UK Must Reform Whistleblowing Law

by

This cycle of scandals must be broken by strengthening whistleblowing protections at an earlier stage. Protect will be putting forward a Private Members’ Bill in the next Parliamentary session, and we hope to see Government support for its progress. With Ministers increasingly acknowledging the need for stronger safeguards for those who speak up, there is now a clear opportunity to turn that recognition into meaningful legislative change.

by

The recent settlement between Channel 5, ITN and Claudia Liza Vanderpuije closes a high-profile workplace dispute. But it should also open up a bigger conversation. Because this isn’t just about one case. It’s about a pattern we see again and again: concerns raised, not properly addressed, and eventually played out through legal action. If you’re serious about supporting your staff, start by asking one question: Would someone here feel safe speaking up today? If the answer isn’t a clear yes, that’s where the work begins.

Building an effective whistleblowing framework can be complex. We asked Jon, our Client Relationship Director, who has spent 14 years working closely with organisations at Protect (it’s fair to say he knows this space inside out) to share his insights on what organisations can expect when working with Protect, the common challenges they face, and the real impact of getting whistleblowing right.

Wrongdoing ignored and those who speak up victimised at alarming levels

by

Protect’s 2025 Impact Report highlights troubling workplace trends, including a rise in calls to their free whistleblowing advice line and an increase in reported malpractice and risk. The charity is urging the government to confront these issues directly through legal reform and stronger protections for workers who speak up.
