“There is no excuse anywhere within government to say they don't understand the issue of NDAs.” There is "so much" evidence non-disclosure agreements are a “massive issue” disproportionately impacting low income workers, says co-founder of Can't Buy My Silence, Zelda Perkins.

Yesterday we delivered a 38 Degrees petition with Louise Haigh signed by over 92,000 to 10 Downing Street, calling on the government to end the misuse of NDAs . After six years of reviews there’s no excuse left. With a govt supporting workers’ rights, the time for action is now.

Thank you for having me The News Agents emily m Jon Sopel After six years of consultations and recommendations from multiple governments and regulators, there is no credible justification left for continued inaction.

This is a crucial moment. A group of amendments, led by Baroness Helena Kennedy & drafted with CBMS, have full cross-party & sector support. We need the strongest version to return to the Commons. Every worker in every sector deserves full protection from silence and abuse.

Excited to speak at the first SXSW London next week. Whistleblowing is vital to a functioning democracy, but too often it comes at a cost. Looking forward to speaking about how NDAs are used to silence truth, and what we can do to stop it. sxswlondon

"The law protected the powerful person in the room, not the victim." The government plans to nullify non-disclosure agreements which prevent victims of harassment from speaking out. Zelda Perkins, Harvey Weinstein's former PA, tells @emmabarnett why it's an important move.
