A considerable amount of attention has been given to the general law of victimisation under the Equality Act 20101 but scant consideration has been given to the equality aspect of victimisation relating to whistle-blowing in the United Kingdom, and the present article will address this. The term whistle-blowing relates to workers making certain disclosures of information relating to their employer’s activities in the public interest. Most workers in the public, private and voluntary sectors are protected from victimisation by making a protected disclosure under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998. However, only qualifying disclosures (defined below) are protected by the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998. The protection against victimisation covers unfair dismissal and an action for suffering a detriment. However, this article will concentrate on the latter. In the process of considering the legal rules in the United Kingdom, the human rights dimension of cases will be considered as will comparison with the law in the United States.

举报和工作场所受害的平等维度

20101 年《平等法》下的一般受害法受到了相当多的关注，但很少考虑与英国举报有关的受害平等方面，本文将解决这个问题。举报一词涉及工人为了公共利益而披露与其雇主活动有关的某些信息。通过根据 1998 年公共利益披露法进行受保护的披露，公共、私营和志愿部门的大多数工人免于受害。 然而，只有符合条件的披露（定义见下文）才受到 1998 年公共利益披露法的保护。涵盖不公平解雇和遭受损害的诉讼。然而，本文将集中讨论后者。在考虑英国法律规则的过程中，会考虑案件的人权维度，并将其与美国法律进行比较。
