Questions and answers
Whistleblowing means that a person with insight into a company, organization or authority informs the management that something improper is happening. The whistleblower is often (but not always) an employee or former employee.
The purpose of whistleblowing is thus to discover serious misconduct in the workplace. Some examples of misconduct in the public interest can be criminal acts, violation of human rights or generally unethical actions.
The Whistleblowing Act (2021:890) on the protection of persons who report disproportion regulates exemption from liability in the event of a breach of the duty of confidentiality. A whistleblower cannot be held liable for breach of confidentiality provided that the whistleblower has reasonable grounds to believe that the information reported is true.
The employer is prohibited from preventing or attempting to prevent reporting or, as a result of reporting, retaliating against the whistleblower or anyone else who supports the whistleblower, is connected to or a legal entity that the whistleblower owns, works for, or is otherwise connected to. The employer must also not try to prevent or take reprisals against someone who turns to a workers' organization.

It is also possible to "whistleblow" externally to the responsible Swedish authority and, if applicable, to the responsible EU-organisations.
The government has decided that Swedish authorities within certain areas of responsibility must offer an opportunity for whistleblowing. Note that for a case to qualify as whistleblowing, the case must meet the same criteria of public interest misconduct and where it is reasonably believed that the information is true.
