UK: FCA policy statement - whistleblowing in deposit-takers, PRA-designated investment firms and insurers

The Financial Conduct Authority has published a policy statement titled Whistleblowing in deposit-takers, PRA-designated investment firms and insurers: see here (pdf). The statement contains the FCA Handbook rules being introduced by the Accountability and Whistleblowing Instrument 2015 (pdf) which will, according to the FCA, "build-on and formalise examples of good practice already found in the financial services industry. These rules aim to encourage a culture in which individuals raise concerns and challenge poor practice and behaviour" (para. 1.1.).
