The Environment Agency has launched a whistleblowing portal for workers in a bid to crack down on issues like sewage pollution.

Those working in the sector are being encouraged to alert the watchdog to any concerns of serious environmental wrongdoing by their organisations.

As well as water companies, people working in the waste, nuclear, fishing, agricultural, and chemical sectors can also use the portal to report concerns, especially if they feel unable to raise issues with their company directly.

This is a good idea, but it's effectiveness will be determined by what the response to these concerns actually is.

Why wasn't there one in place already?
