In my article, I have described the scope of whistleblower protection under the bill aimed at implementing Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019 on the protection of persons who report breaches of EU law. I have described issues such as the scope of whistleblower protection – which entities are protected, the whistleblower’s good faith as a condition for obtaining the whistleblower status, the scope of applications – the scope of matters that can be reported by the whistleblower, establishing safe channels for reporting and confidentiality – ensuring whistleblower’s anonymity. Implementation of the PPWRBL Act is not sufficient to increase the popularity of whistleblowing in Poland. I tried to prove that the problem with the perception of whistleblowers in Poland is rooted in our historical experience and a lack of trust in society and it is necessary not only to implement the EU Directive but also to organize a social campaign in order to build a culture of acceptance for whistleblowers.
