The Whistleblowing Commission, set up by Public Concern at Work, is seeking evidence through a public consultation about the following areas: (i) Attitudes to Whistleblowing From individuals, organisations and wider society; (ii) Law And Policy – Is it adequate and effective?; (iii) Regulators – Should they be doing more?; (iv) Rewards – How can whistleblowing be incentivised; and (v) Tribunals – Are they protecting whistleblowers and society at large? (and in particular whether whistleblowing claims should be exempt from the forthcoming fees for tribunals, so that matters of public interest are not 'lost' in a settlement ). The consultation closes on 21 June 2013.
This provides summary information and comment on the subject areas covered. Where employment tribunal and appellate court cases are reported, the information does not set out all of the facts, the legal arguments presented and the judgments made in every aspect of the case. Employment law is subject to constant change either by statute or by interpretation by the courts. While every care has been taken in compiling this information, we cannot be held responsible for any errors or omissions. Specialist legal advice must be taken on any legal issues that may arise before embarking upon any formal course of action.
