Whistleblowers need to be protected in the workplace

Protection for staff who speak up about wrongdoing or criminal behaviour is needed more than ever.

More than 25,000 whistleblowers spoke up in the NHS last year. They raised issues around bullying and patient safety, which was up by a quarter compared to the year before. 
 
It is important that concerns about victimisation or bullying does not deter people from continuing to speak up. By doing so, in some cases, lives can literally be saved. 
 
It’s crucial that discriminatory behaviour is prevented and dealt with as soon as possible for workers and workplaces to thrive.
 
Our charity believes that people should be empowered to challenge bad behaviour by whistleblowing safely in the workplace. 
 
Crimestoppers offers a trusted way to speak up about anything that isn’t ok, or to raise the alarm about bad or criminal behaviour. We have decades of experience running Speak up and whistleblowing services in the workplace.
