⚖️ Whistleblowing agreement
A whistleblowing agreement is a legally binding contract between an employer and an employee that outlines the procedures for the employee to report misconduct or illegal activity by the employer. The agreement also outlines the protections that the employee will receive from retaliation by the employer.

ET1 Claiming Detriment and Unfair Dimissal as a Whistleblower
Whistleblowing, also known as making a protected disclosure, refers to the act of reporting certain types of wrongdoing within a workplace. These wrongdoings could involve various matters such as illegal activities, health and safety violations, financial misconduct, or any other activities that are in breach of the law or represent a danger to the public interest.
The template aims to guide claimants through the process of compiling a comprehensive claim by providing structured sections and key legal information. It will likely include areas such as the claimant's personal and professional details, a detailed account of the alleged detrimental treatment they faced as a whistleblower, as well as evidence or supporting documents that substantiate their claims.
Additionally, the template should offer guidance on the relevant UK laws and regulations related to whistleblowing. This may include references to the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (PIDA) – the primary legislation protecting whistleblowers in the UK, in addition to any other pertinent statutes or regulations.
By using this legal template, claimants can ensure that their ET1 claim provides a well-structured and coherent account of the events leading to their detrimental treatment and ultimate unfair dismissal. The completed template can be submitted to an Employment Tribunal to initiate formal legal proceedings against the employer for redress and potential compensation for any losses suffered as a result of their whistleblowing activities.
