In this episode of the Whistleblower of the Week podcast, host Jane Turner speaks with Kate Reeves about efforts to strengthen whistleblower rights in the United Kingdom.
Reeves is the International Liaison for the U.S. whistleblower firm Kohn, Kohn & Colapinto. Currently based in London, Reeves works alongside advocates in the UK, including WhistleblowersUK, to further efforts to reform the country’s whistleblower laws.
Turner and Reeves discuss the differences between the U.S. and UK whistleblower systems and highlight the issues with the UK system. Reeves details the current legislative efforts to reform the UK whistleblower laws and the path for these reforms to become law.
Reeves recently coauthored an article for the Oxford University Business Law Blog entitled “UK Whistleblower Reform is Crucial for Global Anti-Corruption Enforcement” which further outlines the need for reform of the UK’s whistleblower laws and how advancing whistleblower rights in the UK would further anti-corruption efforts across the globe.
