The Signals Network provides free, customized support services to individuals who know about or witness wrongdoing so that they can make more informed decisions about whether to speak out on issues that are in the public interest, potentially more safely blow the whistle and publicly share information holding those responsible accountable.

We consider a “Whistleblower” to be any individual who has disclosed publicly – or is thinking of disclosing – information about a threat or harm to the public interest in the context of a work-based relationship, whether it be in the public or private sector. Often, this type of disclosure involves a journalist or media organization that publishes reports based, at least in part, on the provided information.

Each situation is unique and each whistleblower has unique needs. Whistleblowers often face legal, physical, psychological, and economic risks. Because each whistleblower’s circumstances are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, no whistleblower can reasonably rely on the availability of any support services in advance.

The Signals Network is currently able to provide support to whistleblowers and journalists working with whistleblower sources in the United States and internationally, across a variety of different areas ranging from public health to corporate and financial misconduct, government accountability and human rights abuses.

Any communication to our Whistleblower Protection Program team by individuals seeking to report wrongdoing is made in the strictest confidence. Communication is confidential and any names, content and related issues will not be shared with any third party, agency or company without consent.

The Signals Network recognizes the crucial importance of confidentiality to investigative journalism and reporting and will vigorously protect the information about the identities of confidential whistleblowers entrusted to it to the fullest possible extent of the law.

All initial communications with our Whistleblower Protection Program team, led by the Legal Director, are held as attorney-client privileged discussions. That means the information we receive from an individual looking for whistleblower support — with limited exceptions — cannot be disclosed.

However, communicating with us about your whistleblowing questions and concerns does not mean that The Signals Network is representing you. The Signals Network’s is not representing you unless and until you receive written notification and have signed a retainer agreement. Until such point, your request is under consideration.
