We welcome this consultation having long-called for the introduction of a scheme to incentivise whistleblowers. We encourage all those with a view to contribute to the consultation and we look forward to working with our government partners on next steps.
We're consulting on the future of the UK's whistleblowing framework, including proposals to strengthen reporting of economic crime. Your voice can help shape the next chapter.

We've recovered £15.4 million through judicial outcomes since April, and we're proud to support the new Anti-Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Strategy in the fight against dirty money.
Over £100 billion is estimated to be laundered through the UK each year - funding crimes including drug trafficking and people-smuggling.‌ A new crackdown will see 500 new officers recruited to track dirty money, seize criminal assets and disrupt organised crime networks.
