Whistleblowing law 'wholly inadequate' for protecting staff who speak out, say MPs and campaigners

Whistleblowing law 'wholly inadequate' for protecting staff who speak out, say MPs and campaigners Senior MPs and campaigners are demanding the government overhauls laws around whistleblowing, calling the current legislation “wholly inadequate” and “not fit for purpose”.

They argue a change in the law is essential to stop the unfair practice of whistleblowers routinely losing their jobs after lifting the lid on often dangerous and illegal practices.

Among those worst affected are NHS doctors, many of whom have been fired after speaking out about malpractice such as bullying, faulty medical equipment and unsafe staffing levels. The Independent
