The Government has continued to examine and make reforms to the whistleblowing regime, both to the guidance and legislative framework of protections for workers. The most recent reforms came into effect last year.

The Government will continue to listen to stakeholders and will, of course, review the recent reforms once there is sufficient evidence of their impact.
