Every worker in New Zealand needs to know if they make a disclosure it will be taken seriously and action will be taken.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Organisations, both public and private sector, have responsibilities under the Act as receivers of protected disclosures. The passing of the Act highlights the importance for ethically-informed leadership, company culture, and the value of independent, external speak-up agencies such as Report it Now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new Protection of Whistleblowers Act 2022 replaces the Protected Disclosures Act 2000.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read the Protection of Whistleblowers Act <a href=\"https:\/\/www.publicservice.govt.nz\/resources\/protected-disclosures-act-2022\/\">here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have questions about the new whistleblower protection legislation and how it will affect your organisation, <a href=\"https:\/\/reportitnow-global.com\/nz\/contact\/\">contact Report it Now<\/a> for advice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Zealand&#8217;s Protected Disclosures (Protection of Whistleblowers) Act 2022 is now law.
