Public Interest Disclosure Act (UK)

The Public Interest Disclosure Act (UK) protects employees who report wrongdoing, such as illegal or unethical behavior, within their workplace. Also known as whistleblowing, it ensures they are not unfairly treated or dismissed for raising concerns in good faith. The law encourages transparency by providing a safe way for workers to disclose issues like fraud, health and safety risks, or misconduct, without fear of retaliation. It applies across various sectors and aims to promote an ethical, accountable working environment while safeguarding individuals who come forward in the public interest.
