UK Bans NDAs Silencing Workplace Abuse Victims | JQJO

The UK government will ban employers from using non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to silence victims of workplace sexual misconduct or discrimination. This amendment to the Employment Rights Bill, expected to become law this year, voids confidentiality agreements preventing workers from reporting harassment or discrimination. The move follows campaigns by individuals like Zelda Perkins, who fought to expose the abuse of NDAs by powerful figures. While NDAs can protect confidential information, their misuse to cover up crimes has been widely criticized.
