Summary

For years, corporate whistleblowers in the UK have found themselves in an unenviable predicament. They’re encouraged to report wrongdoing, but at the same time they often feel like they’ve risked their livelihoods in exchange for very little in the end. The fallout from whistleblowing can cost them their careers or worse. Starting next Monday, Behind the Money is launching a two-part special series on what, if anything, the UK can do to change this. Listen every Monday on Behind the Money.
