It is also not clear how this would interact with the existing system of prescribed persons, and I am concerned there could be costly duplication. There are more than 90 prescribed persons that a worker can make a protected disclosure to about relevant failures. These are usually regulators, such as the Equality and Human Rights Commission and the Financial Conduct Authority, but many others exist as well. In recent years, on average, 50,000 whistleblowing disclosures have been made annually to prescribed persons. These have been highly concentrated in health, public administration and the financial and insurance sectors.
