Public Interest Disclosure Acts

Public Interest Disclosure Acts are laws that protect individuals who report wrongdoing in organizations, such as fraud, safety violations, or corruption. These laws encourage whistleblowing by safeguarding the whistleblower from retaliation, such as job loss or harassment. The Acts typically outline the types of disclosures that are protected and the procedures for making a report, ensuring that concerns can be raised transparently and safely. Overall, these laws promote accountability and integrity within public and private institutions by allowing ethical individuals to speak up without fear of negative consequences.
