Consultation description

If a worker feels they can’t tell their employer about suspected wrongdoing at work, they can contact a prescribed person. These are mainly regulators but include other bodies and individuals such as MPs.

This consultation seeks views on the practical implementation of a legal power in the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Bill, which will require certain prescribed persons to report annually on the whistleblowing disclosures that they receive.
