Reference Case Number: FOI8158
Freedom of Information: Right to know request:
The number of whistleblowing cases for sexual harassment in 2020 across financial services.
FCA response:
Following a search of our records, we can confirm that there were 12 instances in 2020 where sexual harassment was alleged in the intelligence received from whistleblowers.
Please note that we do not have a specific ‘marker’ that categorises disclosures as sexual harassment, so key word searches were undertaken for the relevant period to answer your request. Therefore, only those instances where relevant keywords were recorded as part of the case narrative, would be captured in the above figure.
