What is SpeakUp?
A Speak Up service provides employees with a safe, structured way to report concerns about wrongdoing, risk, or misconduct. In Ireland, these reports are known as protected disclosures and are governed by the Protected Disclosures Act.
A compliant Speak Up channel ensures employees can raise issues without fear of retaliation, while employers receive clear, confidential information that supports early intervention and risk management.
This service is essential for Irish organisations that want to:
Strengthen trust and transparency
Demonstrate compliance with Irish employment law
Protect employees and organisational reputation
Provide a safe route for reporting concerns
Why Irish Employers Need a Speak Up Channel
Under Irish legislation, employers must provide safe internal reporting channels for protected disclosures. A robust Speak Up service helps organisations:
Meet statutory obligations under the Protected Disclosures Act
Reduce legal and reputational risk
Encourage early reporting and intervention
Build a culture of safety and accountability
Support employees through difficult situations
Provide managers with clear guidance and structured processes
