Something was seriously wrong at work. I have been accused of 'whistle-blowing'. Can you help me?
1
If something was seriously wrong at work and you have decided to tell the right person about this then not only are you brave but the law will often protect you.
Use our Free First Step service to find out more. Perhaps use our £100 Ask the Legal Expert service for more detailed confidential advice to find out where you stand and the likely outcome of the various options open to you based on the specialist lawyer's years of knowledge and experience.
In particular you will be protected if you blew the whistle on:
- A criminal offence
- A miscarriage of justice
- A danger to health and safety
- Damage to the environment
- A failure to comply with a legal obligation
- A deliberate concealment of information relating to the above
To get the protection of the law your disclosure should be in good faith and in almost all cases should be made first to your employer. If you have been dismissed or received unfair treatment because of your disclosure then you will need to act fast as you only have three months from the date of the dismissal or unfair treatment to bring your claim so use our Free First Step service today.
