The Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (PIDA) provides protection for whistleblowers. Under PIDA, employees who make “protected disclosures” can claim unfair dismissal if their contracts are terminated due to the disclosures. Further, the EU Commission has recently announced a new law that aims to increase protections for whistleblowers.
In this webinar, we were joined by the EU Commission’s Policy Officer Maria Mollica to share guidance and insights on the upcoming EU Whistleblowing Directive. We also shared guidance on complying with existing UK whistleblowing law.
The webinar will cover:
- Whistleblowing regulations in the UK
- The key differences between the UK law and the EU Directive
- The purpose and reach of the EU Directive
- The categories protected by the EU Directive
- Who can be a Reporting Person?
- The procedures for internal and external reporting and recommended reporting methods
