Managing Protected Disclosures in the Workplace

Did you know 1,162 whistleblowing reports were made to public bodies in 2023? One disclosure even led to €3.7 million being returned to the exchequer! Whistleblowing isn’t going away, and with Ireland now boasting one of the world’s strongest whistleblower protection laws, employers must stay ahead.

Join Laura McKee, Knowledge Partner at Legal Island, and Sinead Morgan, Legal Director in DAC Beachcroft’s employment team  as they unpack key cases, share legal insights, and explore practical strategies to foster a culture of trust while staying compliant.

What You’ll Learn:
  • What the data from the Office of Protected Disclosures Commissioner’s Annual Report means for your business
  • Key takeaways from recent protected disclosure cases
  • The difference between a protected disclosure and a grievance
  • How to build a culture of transparency and prevent penalisation claims
  • Live Q&A included—bring your questions!
