Speak Up Line – a unique Whistle Blowing, Bullying, Discrimination & Harassment support line
Safeguard your people by providing a confidential reporting service for those in need of advice on workplace malpractice in confidence.

What is Speak Up Line?
Speak Up Line is HA | Wisdom Wellbeing’s unique and confidential support line for individuals to report issues they may be experiencing in the workplace. Sadly, speaking up at work may be difficult for some individuals, and often, they may feel isolated and unable to talk to anyone in confidence
Whether they’re worried about or experiencing workplace bullying, discrimination or a kind of harassment – none of it should be tolerated. Give your people a place to turn to in crisis or for general advice, you can give them an avenue of support they need.

Why should you care about our Speak Up whistleblowing support line?
If an individual is experiencing harassment, bullying, discrimination or witnesses something wrong, this can be detrimental to their mental health. When their mental health is impacted, you can’t expect the best out of them. Plus, you have a duty of care as employers to ensure your staff feel safe at work.
With Speak Up line, you can give your people a place to report what they’ve seen in confidence, and even receive support from one of our counsellors if deemed appropriate.

What does Speak Up line provide?
With our Speak Up support line, your people can talk to us about:
Bullying
Discrimination
Harassment (including sexual harassment)
Other organisational concerns impacting the individual and/or workplace.

Speak Up safeguards your business
The Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023, which came into effect in October 2024, places a legal duty on employers to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment of their employees. This new legislation strengthens existing protections and introduces a proactive obligation for employers to create a safe working environment.
Failure to have the right policies in place gives grounds to the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) the right to investigate your workplace. With Speak Up line – you can give an avenue of support for employees who feel they may be experiencing sexual harassment and wish to seek advice for themselves, someone else and use their newfound advice to report it if they wish to do so.

Whistleblowing support for all
Employees see, hear and experience difficult issues within the workplace and often feel scared to raise their objections to them. Early knowledge and intervention allow organisations to deal with the situation confidently and effectively.
Once a call is received, the appointed coordinator within the organisation will be notified and provided with the appropriate details, enabling them to identify and deal with the various matters of concern.
There is a whistleblowing law in place to safeguard and to ensure employees are not discriminated against for ‘blowing the whistle’. In the UK, whistleblower protection law and whistleblowing policies are in the Public Interest Disclosure Act (PIDA) 1998 and amended into the Employment Rights Act
