Protected Disclosure
What is Protected Disclosure?
The Protected Disclosures Act 2014 (as amended) provides a framework to protect workers who wish to report information about certain wrongdoing. Workers include current and former: employees, contractors, agency workers, trainees, shareholders, board members, members of the administrative, management or supervisory body of an undertaking, volunteers, job candidates and contractors involved in pre-contractual negotiations. Public bodies are required to establish, maintain, and operate internal reporting channels and procedures for the making of reports and for conducting follow-up to reports.
Enterprise Ireland’s Protected Disclosure Policy can be viewed here. This policy details our reporting channels and procedures for the making of reports and for conducting follow-up to reports.
Further information from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform regarding the legislation can be found at www.gov.ie/protected-disclosures
