Frequently Asked Questions
Can I remain anonymous when whistleblowing?
While anonymity is possible, it can make investigating and addressing your concerns more challenging. Many employers prefer open reporting for better communication and resolution. However, if you choose to remain anonymous, your identity should be protected as much as possible. Consider discussing your options with a solicitor to understand the best approach for your situation.
What are the time limits for making a whistleblowing claim?
In most cases, you have three months less one day from the date of the detrimental treatment or dismissal to bring a claim to an employment tribunal. It’s crucial to act promptly if you believe you’ve suffered detriment due to whistleblowing. Consulting a solicitor early can help ensure you don’t miss important deadlines.
How can I prove I've been treated unfairly due to whistleblowing?
Gather evidence such as emails, meeting notes, and witness statements that support your claim. Document any changes in your treatment or work conditions following your disclosure. Keep a detailed timeline of events. A solicitor can help you assess the strength of your evidence and advise on building a robust case.
What compensation can I expect if my whistleblowing claim is successful?
Compensation can include financial losses (e.g., lost wages), injury to feelings, and in some cases, aggravated damages. There’s no cap on compensation for whistleblowing claims. The amount varies based on individual circumstances, including the severity of the detriment suffered and any ongoing impact on your career.
Can my employer prevent me from whistleblowing?
No, it’s illegal for an employer to have a policy or contractual clause that prevents you from whistleblowing. Any such provision would be void. If you encounter attempts to silence you, it’s important to seek legal advice promptly to understand your rights and options.
What should I do if I'm facing retaliation for whistleblowing?
Document all incidents of retaliation, including dates, times, and details. Report the retaliation to HR or senior management if appropriate. If the situation doesn’t improve, consider seeking legal advice. A solicitor can help you understand your options, which may include internal grievance procedures or legal action.
