Whistleblowing for sanctions: Public Interest Disclosure (Prescribed Persons) (Amendment) Order 2025 Yesterday, the Public Interest Disclosure (Prescribed Persons) (Amendment) Order 2025 was laid before parliament. This will amend whistleblowing legislation to strengthen the implementation and enforcement of UK sanctions. It will enter into force on 26 June. This legislation will prescribe additional matters that can be disclosed to the Secretary of State for Business and Trade and Secretary of State for Transport as prescribed persons for whistleblowing. It will also include the Treasury as a prescribed person. The newly prescribed matters concern the sanctions-related functions of these prescribed persons. These amendments will help whistleblowers qualify for employment protections when disclosing information about financial, transport, and certain trade sanctions to the relevant department.
