Whistleblower Protection
Definition
Legal safeguards that protect individuals who report illegal, unethical, or dangerous activities within organisations from retaliation, including dismissal, demotion, or harassment. In the EU, the Whistleblower Protection Directive (2019/1937) requires companies with 50+ employees to establish internal reporting channels, while the UK's Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 provides employment tribunal remedies.
