The Protected Disclosures Act 2014, as amended by the Protected Disclosures (Amendment) Act 2022, provides a statutory framework for the protection of workers who raise concerns about relevant wrongdoing in their workplace from dismissal, penalisation or other sanctions by their employers.
Making a protected disclosure is also known as “whistleblowing”.
