That the Parliament is aware that Whistleblowing Awareness Week occurs between 20 and 24 March 2023; considers that whistleblowing is crucial to a free and open society; understands that Whistleblowing Awareness Week is an opportunity to celebrate people who have courageously spoken up about various workplace issues and organisations that have promoted whistleblowing within their organisation, and notes the view that Whistleblowing Awareness Week is an opportunity to acknowledge that existing whistleblowing legislation requires root and branch reform.
