IDS Whistleblowing at Work provides a comprehensive and up to date account of the law governing ‘whistleblowing’ at work.
This IDS Employment Law Handbook aims to provide a clear and comprehensive guide to the law governing whistleblowing at work. It considers the scope of the law governing protected disclosures - i.e. who is protected and what amounts to a qualifying disclosure - and explains the legitimate methods of disclosure.
It also looks at the rules governing unlawful detriment and unfair dismissal for making a protected disclosure and considers the impact of confidentiality and ‘gagging’ clauses. Finally, the Handbook explains the positive benefits to employers of having a whistleblowing policy and outlines what a good whistleblowing policy should look like.
