Description:
Restore Britain?s whistleblowing guidance includes legal notices about Official Secrets Act exposure and states it cannot give legal advice or protect those bound by secrecy obligations. This creates a governance requirement for triage, boundary-setting, and referral to independent legal advice. (Source: Restore Britain Whistleblowing)
Desired Outcome:
High-risk submissions are triaged correctly with safe handling, clear boundaries, and documented decisions.
What Could Go Wrong:
The organisation engages incorrectly with a legally restricted disclosure, mishandles sensitive content, or creates implied assurance.
Current Situation:
Boundaries are stated publicly; internal steps for triage, legal escalation, and decision recording need definition and rehearsal.
Action Strategy:
Create a legal-risk triage checklist; formalise legal counsel review points; use response templates reinforcing no legal advice and signposting to independent counsel.
