Whistleblowing disclosures report

Whistleblowing reports are produced jointly by the health and social care professional regulators. We publish these reports annually.

We follow the same definition of a whistleblower which is set detailed on the Government website:  Whistleblowing for employees: What is a whistleblower.

We are a prescribed body for whistleblowers, which means that a worker can contact the GDC to report suspected or known wrongdoing about dental professionals and the GDC will treat these individuals as whistleblowers in accordance with the government guidance.
