What Options Are Open to You If You Have Been Unfairly Treated After Whistleblowing?

If you feel that you have been unfairly treated after raising concerns in the workplace, the first step is usually to attempt to resolve the matter informally by discussing it with your employer. Where informal resolution is not effective, you should proceed by raising a formal grievance under your employer’s internal procedure. 

If the grievance process does not bring about a satisfactory resolution, the next step is to begin the ACAS early conciliation process, which is a mandatory requirement before bringing a claim to the Employment Tribunal. It is important to note that this process must be started within three months minus one day from the date of the last act of unfair treatment. 

Should early conciliation fail to resolve the issue, you may then consider making a claim in the Employment Tribunal. The specific type of claim you can bring will depend on your employment status—whether you are classified as an employee or a worker. Our legal team will assess your situation and guide you through the correct course of action.

How Will I Be Protected During the Whistleblowing Process? 

Under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998, individuals who raise concerns in the public interest are legally protected from retaliation by their employer. The Act provides the following key protections: 

• Whistleblowers must not be subjected to unfair or negative treatment as a result of making a protected disclosure. 

• An individual cannot be dismissed for whistleblowing. If a dismissal occurs for this reason, it may give rise to a claim for unfair dismissal. 

• Whistleblowers must not be forced to resign due to mistreatment. Where resignation is the result of sustained unfair treatment, this may amount to constructive dismissal. 

These legal protections are designed to encourage transparency and ensure that individuals can safely report wrongdoing without fear of losing their job or suffering detriment in the workplace.
