Human Resource Management

The law on whistle-blowing has had a significant overhaul since the introduction of the Protected Disclosures Act 2014.  In order to give effect to Directive (EU) 2019/1937 the law has been revised and extended and the Protected Disclosures (Amendment) Act 2022 was signed into law in July 2022.

Employment Law - Whistle-Blowing and Protected Disclosures aims to familiarise attendees with the core definitions and considerations in the area of protected disclosures and to get ahead of the changes required by the new Act.  It is an invaluable insight into this fast moving area of law ahead of the imminent commencement of the 2022 Act and will have particular value for managers, human resource practitioners and those working in the overlapping areas of complaints and grievance resolution.
