UK Government Consults on Whistleblowing

Laborsphere blog

The UK government has opened a consultation on whether, and how, to reform the whistleblowing framework in the Employment Rights Act 1996 (England, Wales, and Scotland). It is also seeking views on a proposed Serious Fraud Office (SFO) reward scheme for whistleblowers who report economic crime. No changes to the law have been made at this stage.
