ABSTRACT

Each organization has its own history of how it began to deal with a particular problem and so Anticorruption Program had its own path which led its team to thinking of how to build legal protection to whistleblowing and whistleblowers. Unlike, however, other non-governmental organizations such as Government Accountability Project or Public Concern at Work, who devote all their capacities to the issue, whistleblowing in the work of Anticorruption Program has been set in wider context of various activities directed to preventing and fighting corruption. Poland belongs to countries which do not provide specific protection against employer's retaliation to an employee, who acting in good faith brings wrongdoing to light. Unlike whistleblowing statutes in Great Britain, the United States, New Zealand, or Australia to mention but a few examples, Polish law does not offer protection which would take into consideration and reflect the specificity of this type of cases.
