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.

Please confirm you have understood the above and you wish to proceed

You will not be able to use this webform to submit your report. Please contact us[2].

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[3] to locate the relevant regulator/prescribed person.

Please confirm you have understood this message and you wish to proceed

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