Protected Disclosure Procedures

Back to Governance

A Protected Disclosure is defined in the Protected Disclosures Act 2014 as a disclosure of information which, in the reasonable belief of the worker, tends to show one or more ‘relevant wrongdoings’, which came to the attention of the worker in connection with the worker’s employment and is disclosed in the manner prescribed in the Protected Disclosures Act 2014.

The Act's key objectives are:

  • To encourage workers to raise reasonable concerns regarding possible wrongdoing in the workplace
  • To underpin a working environment, the primary focus of which is on responding to the “message” (i.e. the report of wrongdoing) rather than on the “messenger” (i.e. the worker making the report);
  • To reinforce the legal requirement that public bodies should not penalise a worker who makes a protected disclosure;
  • To ensure that a competent and timely assessment and investigation of reports of wrongdoing takes place followed, where necessary, by an appropriate response.
