# WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTION LETTER

Date: 20 June 2037

Parties: Tom Avery and Redbridge Care Ltd

## 1. Purpose and parties

I write to document a protected disclosure made to the compliance director on 2 June 2037. I reported that medication records at Redbridge Care Ltd were being completed after the event and that a resident had missed a prescribed dose. I reasonably believed the information tended to show a breach of legal obligations and danger to health and safety.

## 2. Facts, scope and terms

On 9 June I was removed from the rota, told not to contact the compliance director and given an unfavourable performance note. No investigation outcome has been provided. I believe these actions may be detriments for making a protected disclosure under the Employment Rights Act 1996.

## 3. Process and responsibilities

Please preserve the medication records, disclosure, rota, performance note and messages, investigate independently and confirm that no retaliation will occur. I request restoration of ordinary duties pending the outcome and a written response. I reserve the right to seek Acas Early Conciliation or an Employment Tribunal remedy and do not waive confidentiality or safety concerns.

## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards

The parties should retain the relevant contract, notice, invoices, records and correspondence, and restrict access to personal or confidential information to those who need it. The stated amounts and dates are fictional worked-example facts and require checking against source records.

## 5. Review, escalation and outcome

If the issue is not resolved, the parties should identify the appropriate next step, which may include an internal process, mediation, court or regulator. Silence or part performance is not treated as acceptance or waiver.

## 6. Reservations and practical protections

This document is a general fictional example, not individual legal advice and not a guarantee of eligibility, liability or outcome. Where necessary, an independent professional should check the facts and current law.

## 7. England and Wales law and completion

This completed fictional sample is made on the date above under the law of England and Wales and subject to mandatory protections. It does not exclude any right, liability or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.
