The effect of this is that under Part IV A of the Employment Rights Act 1996 a worker will be protected from being subjected to any detriment if he makes a qualifying disclosure in good faith to the Commission, reasonably believing that the failure disclosed falls within the matters in respect of which the Commission is prescribed and that the information disclosed, and any allegation in it, are substantially true.
