Today we have announced our #PlanforWater bringing forward £1.6 billion water company investment; stronger regulation, including the banning of wet wipes containing plastic; and tougher enforcement on water companies who pollute our rivers and streams. https://t.co/zMiMGYVw9v
The Gov't supported relaunch of the NSPCC whistleblowing hotline for professionals and expansion of their main helpline to help facilitate public reporting is welcome. People must be able to report concerns without fear and it is vital that reports are investigated and acted on
Should a future Independent Office of the Whistleblower be established even more support would be available so people in every section of society could speak up about abuse and wrongdoing with confidence. https://t.co/YwMiId01ul
Today, @RishiSunak and @SuellaBraverman announced new measures to tackle grooming gangs which target, exploit and abuse children and young women.
In addition to a new police-led Taskforce, tougher sentences, and a Mandatory Reporting duty, action is being taken to help whistleblowers speak up in confidence. Rochdale and Rotherham highlighted the key role of whistleblowers and the importance of listening to them
Fantastic to campaign with Minister @StuartAndrew in Bramhall South & Woodford for our brilliant candidates Brian Bagnall, Mike Hurleston and John McGahan. Great reception from residents who were pleased to hear of their positive plan for our area! #LocalElections2023 https://t.co/KEtHSKQJIY

The review is a welcome and important step towards reform of whistleblowing legislation, and from our WBAW discussions, it is clear that there is an appetite for change among business, campaigners, regulators and politicians alike.
The announcement of the Government's long-awaited review of the whistleblowing framework follows a successful Whistleblowing Awareness Week (WBAW) held in Westminster last week.
