The Guardian reported that UK ministers are looking at ways to change the law quickly to limit the use of non‑disclosure agreements after allegations involving TV personality David Walliams. The government is considering further curbs on NDAs that have been used to cover up harassment or discrimination. Officials may extend existing measures that prevent an NDA from silencing an employee so that the rules also apply to freelancers and volunteers. The proposed reforms aim to broaden protections and stop NDAs from being used to hide misconduct.
Why it matters
Expanding NDA restrictions could help expose harassment and discrimination, offering protection to a wider range of workers.
