Whistleblowers

Criteria for a whistleblower

This form is for:

  • workers and ex-workers of regulated firms (this includes employees, contractors, agency staff, etc).
  • or those with a clear need for confidentiality (family member, neighbour etc) to submit whistleblowing disclosures to the FCA about areas we regulate.

This form is not for:

  • Consumers
  • Shareholders
  • A firm reporting another firm

Please check you are using the correct form, otherwise your information may not reach the relevant part of the FCA and may not be acted on.

This form is also for workers and ex-workers wishing to submit concerns about an unauthorised business conducting a regulated activity or a firm listed on a UK exchange.

You will not be able to use this webform to submit your report. Please contact us.

Anonymity and the FCA
We are able to accept anonymous disclosures. However, if you provide your contact details on the form, this will only be known to the whistleblowing team and will not be shared with the firm or individual you are reporting.

If you submit an anonymous disclosure with no contact details, we will be unable to contact you with additional questions and this may restrict our ability to take meaningful action in response to your disclosure. Therefore, if you are not providing your contact details, please ensure you have given us as much information as possible, including specific detail where this is known.

Finding the right channel for your information
Finally, please check that your disclosure is being sent to the correct regulator or law enforcement agency. The FCA regulates the financial services sector in the UK. To report concerns about other sectors, please see the list of prescribed people and bodies to locate the relevant regulator/prescribed person.

You can now exit the form. If you have further queries, please contact the Whistleblowing team on 0207 066 9200.

Background

You will not be able to use this webform to submit your report. Please contact us.

You will not be able to use this webform to submit your report. Please use the reporting wrongdoing or misconduct webform. 

To help us understand your confidentiality requirements, please tell us why you need or want anonymity, or if there’s a risk to you in raising your concerns with us.
List the name(s) of the firm you're reporting - look up the name using https://register.fca.org.uk/s/ (if you are/were an employee this should be your current or former employer)
Please include the names of any individuals you wish to include in your report.
Please also include the role of this individual at the firm.
Every disclosure we receive will be assessed, but not every disclosure will result in significant action and we may not take action specifically relating to the detriment you believe you have faced. This may be a matter for an Employment Tribunal to consider. We can’t accept reports that solely relate to employment disputes. We don't usually comment on or participate in Employment Tribunal proceedings.
The FCA will ensure your anonymity and therefore you can remain anonymous to the firm while communicating with the FCA. Further details can be found on how whistleblowing information is shared.
