answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/09/2017 answer text <p>​All staff can see the whistleblowing policy on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) intranet. This includes a presentation on how to raise a concern and contact details for Nominated Officers to whom staff can talk in confidence about any concerns they have. The Board reviews whistleblowing data on a quarterly basis and regularly confirms its continued commitment to the policy. Regular messages are published in staff bulletins to remind employees how they can raise a concern, and our overseas posts supplement this with their own internal messaging on a six-monthly basis. Other internal communications on this issue have included a blog by the HR Director and poster campaigns. The FCO's Anti-Fraud and Corruption Unit has a 24/7 hotline for reporting concerns about financial irregularities.</p><p>The FCO will mark Civil Service Whistleblowing Awareness Day on 21 September with a message to all staff, digital signage in the FCO building and an internal tweeting campaign by senior staff and Nominated Officers. The FCO coordinates its whistleblowing awareness activities with its executive agencies who adopt a similar approach.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 15/09/2017 13:50:11 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
