The cost of whistleblowing 21 August 2019
The All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for whistleblowing has recommended the formation of an Independent Office to transform the way both society and organisations react to whistleblowing.
With increasing focus on organisational culture and new global laws and regulations to support transparency and whistleblowers, the APPG says the UK needs a comprehensive, transparent and accessible framework and an organisation that will support whistleblowers and whistleblowing. Whistleblowing continually makes the headlines around the world and the APPG report highlights that what does not always reach the headlines is the appalling and unlawful treatment of the whistleblowers who by just doing the right thing risk everything to protect others.
The APPG report ‘Whistleblowing; The Personal Cost of Doing the Right Thing and the Cost to Society of Ignoring it’. shines a light on a culture that too often supports the covering up of wrongdoing and the penalising of whistleblowers.
Despite acceptance that whistleblowers are the single most cost effective and important means of identifying and addressing wrongdoing, they become the target of retaliation by organisations determined to protect their reputation.
