When to seek legal advice

Whistleblowing situations often arise unexpectedly, and it’s crucial to get legal advice early. You should contact HF if:

• You’re creating or updating your whistleblowing policy
• A team member has made, or is threatening to make, a protected disclosure
• You’re unsure whether a disclosure qualifies as a protected disclosure
• You need to conduct an impartial workplace investigation
• There’s potential conflict, retaliation or risk of a tribunal claim
• You’re responding to regulator involvement or an external report
