Whistleblowing is reporting some wrongdoing. You can be a worker and ‘blow the whistle’ about something that is in the public interest (i.e. it affects other people). If something is affecting you personally at work, this is not usually covered by whistleblowing law. Whistleblowing is ‘making a disclosure in the public interest’. This will usually be something you’ve seen at work – although not always.
