Protected Disclosures Annual Reports, as required under Section 22 of the Protected Disclosures Act 2014, provide a yearly overview of the number of protected disclosures (whistleblowing reports) received by public bodies and the actions taken in response. These reports are designed to promote transparency and accountability, summarizing data in a manner that ensures the confidentiality of reporting persons while demonstrating the public body’s commitment to ethical standards and protection against penalisation for those who raise concerns in good faith.
