UK Government to Ban NDAs Silencing Workplace Abuse Victims

The UK government has unveiled plans to ban the use of non-disclosure agreements that prevent employees from speaking out about harassment or discrimination at work.

Amendments to the Employment Rights Bill will render such confidentiality clauses unenforceable, empowering victims and witnesses to share their experiences freely.

The move is part of a broader effort to strengthen worker protections and address misuse of NDAs to cover up misconduct, especially in insecure sectors.
