Isn a whistleblower a snitch / grass / tattle-tale / rat / clype?
No. Whistleblowers provide an early warning system that can alert their colleagues, employers or the public to danger or illegality before it is too late. They can be among the most loyal and public-spirited employees. Unfortunately, there are still some people who believe that whistleblower is a dirty word and don’t realise how whistleblowing can save lives, jobs, money and reputations. Thankfully, more and more people are beginning to realise how invaluable responsible whistleblowing can be.
