About Safecall & Law Debenture

Safecall is a whistleblowing service provider, helping organisations establish an independent, safe and confidential reporting system since 1999. Our whistleblowing hotline and online reporting allows employees to Speak Up and report their concerns to the highest levels of management. We recognise the value of an effective whistleblowing programme in supporting both employers and employees to address wrongdoing in the workplace.

We support over 1,000 customers in 100 countries globally. In our 20 year history we have successfully managed tens of thousands of cases on behalf of our clients and their employees.

Law Debenture is our parent company, and is an Investment Trust supported by a wholly owned professional services business. LawDeb is an unusual and exciting proposition; on a day–to-day basis we are nimble, ambitious and small enough to know everyone by name, whilst also benefiting from the profile and credibility of a listed business. This is thanks to our 137-year-old FTSE250 investment trust and our fast-growing independent professional services business of over 300 colleagues across 6 business lines including Safecall.

We’re on a journey to shape a culture we’re all proud to be part of. One where everyone feels trusted, supported and empowered to own their success. Working with us, you will have access to our enviable network of clients and innovative projects, as well as brilliant colleagues to learn from and collaborate with.
