Whistleblowing question

[Hrhelpplease]

Posted in work but reposting here for traffic

hello. Would evidence of a predetermined grievance based on bad HR practice be grounds for whistleblowing?

thanks

HR Director here. As HR don’t determine outcomes of grievances I would need more context.

thanks for reply. Hr advisory had confirmed the outcome prior to investigation.

grievance raised by person a against person b.

hr confirmed result would be x, due to risk of person a suing firm. Despite no evidence to suggest b was at fault, actually to the contrary.

I thought whistleblowing was about safety?

Yes, this doesn’t sound like whistleblowing. But you’ve still not given enough detail.

How would that be a qualifying disclosure? It just sounds like someone with an axe to grind.

Do you mean grounds to take a case to a employment tribunal e.g. for unfair dismissal? Rather than whistleblowing, which is making a protected disclosure

Thanks all - the link was really helpful, was getting lost in Google.

no axe to grind, genuine concerns with how grievance processes are being managed. But can see is not whistleblowing so maybe just a bad culture of workplace!
