Public Concern at Work is the whistleblowing charity. Established in 1993, we have led the new approach to whistleblowing that - both at home and abroad - recognises the key role it can play in anticipating and avoiding serious risks that arise in and from the workplace.

We have four activities. We:

  • offer free, confidential advice to people concerned about crime, danger or wrongdoing at work;
  • help organisations to deliver and demonstrate good governance;
  • inform public policy; and
  • promote individual responsibility, organisational accountability and the public interest.
