All in a Day’s Work – An Introduction to Whistleblowing in the Workplace

June 1, 2026

In this episode of All in a Day’s Work on the Legal Room UK podcast, Alex Harper is joined by fellow Employment Senior Solicitor, Sam Gray, to explore how employers can best protect confidential information. They discuss why the strongest safeguard is clear, express contractual wording, especially a well-defined description of what counts as confidential. The episode also covers what employers can rely on when explicit provisions are missing, how obligations differ during employment and after termination, and the practical steps to take when someone resigns, from restricting access and monitoring risk through to litigation if breaches can’t be resolved.
