Whistleblowing Services
Protecting your people and your business
Why SafeVoice is Different
SafeVoice isn't just a hotline. It's a complete whistleblowing solution designed to protect your people and your business. We combine expert HR guidance with a confidential, independent reporting platform to help you build a culture of transparency and trust.
Overview
Whistleblowing is when someone reports wrongdoing in the workplace. It's a vital part of maintaining ethical standards and legal compliance. SafeVoice provides a safe, confidential way for employees to speak up and helps you address concerns before they become crises.
What is Whistleblowing?
Whistleblowing is the act of reporting suspected wrongdoing or dangers in the workplace. This could include fraud, health and safety risks, discrimination, or any other illegal or unethical behaviour.
In the UK, whistleblowers are protected by law under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (PIDA). This means employees who report concerns in good faith cannot be dismissed or victimised for speaking up.
A whistleblowing hotline like SafeVoice provides a confidential, independent channel for employees to raise concerns. This ensures they feel safe to speak up and that issues are handled fairly and objectively.
What Can Be Reported?
Whistleblowing covers a wide range of concerns. If an employee believes something is wrong in the workplace, they can report it through SafeVoice. Common examples include:
- Criminal offences (e.g., fraud, theft)
- Health and safety risks
- Damage to the environment
- Miscarriage of justice
- Breach of legal obligations
- Covering up wrongdoing
It's important to note that whistleblowing is different from a personal grievance. Whistleblowing concerns issues that affect others or the public interest, not just the individual making the report.

The Cost of Staying Silent
When employees don't feel safe to speak up, problems fester. What starts as a minor concern can escalate into:
- Legal disputes and tribunal claims
- Reputational damage
- Loss of employee trust and morale
- Regulatory fines and penalties
- Increased staff turnover
A whistleblowing hotline like SafeVoice helps you catch issues early—before they become costly crises. It shows your team that you take their concerns seriously and are committed to maintaining a safe, ethical workplace.

Whistleblowing Law
In the UK, whistleblowers are protected by the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (PIDA). This law protects employees who report wrongdoing from being dismissed or victimised.
To be protected under PIDA, a disclosure must be made in good faith and be in the public interest. This means the concern must affect others, not just the individual making the report.
Employers have a legal duty to protect whistleblowers and investigate concerns fairly. Failure to do so can result in tribunal claims, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties.
SafeVoice helps you meet these legal requirements by providing a confidential, independent reporting channel and expert guidance on handling whistleblowing cases.
