<p>Where civil servants are working for a non civil service organisation, this is
done under a secondment agreement and not as contracting out.</p><p> </p><p>In such
situations, a secondment agreement is normally put in place between the two organisations
setting out the responsibilities of both towards the secondee during the period of
the secondment. Through this, the employing department is able to satisfy itself that
the host organisation is aware of and able to discharge the relevant employment responsibilities.</p><p>
</p><p>As set out in section 10.3 of the Civil Service Management Code, civil servants
who are on secondment remain subject to their normal terms and conditions, including
in relation to conduct, discipline and disclosure of information. Where a secondee
has any concerns about the practices in the host organisation, they can raise that
with their employing department, who is able to take action and, if necessary, end
the secondment.</p>
