Non-disclosure agreements

51% of workers say they would not feel safe disclosing illegal activities by their company

The government has rejected a recommendation from a group of MPs to ban the use of non-disclosure agreements in sexual harassment cases.

The government will ban the use of NDAs to prevent workers from reporting a crime, such as sexual harassment at work.

The CBI reportedly used NDAs last year to prevent staff from discussing their experiences of sexual harassment, abuse and bullying.

A new report details the negative consequences for mental health for many of those who feel they have no choice but to sign an NDA.

An MP has reiterated her call for tighter laws regulating non-disclosure agreements, warning that 'questionable' use of NDAs is still rife.
