From our brains to yours.

We discuss the current legal and regulatory landscape, as well as the key trends and drivers shaping whistleblowing this year.

Whistleblowing is entering a new phase. Recent legislative changes, including updates under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act and the Employment Rights Act, are reshaping what effective reporting and response look like for large organisations.

The Department for Business and Trade recently commissioned us to independently review the whistleblowing framework in England, Wales, and Scotland (Great Britain). Ali Crotch-Harvey, Peter Harris, Will Morris, and James Helme share our findings, which reveal a complex and challenging landscape.

There are some 'no regret' steps that large organisations can take to prepare for full enforcement of the ECCTA.
