<p>No guidance has been provided on the rights of NDPB employees to raise concerns
specifically about EU Exit. We would expect NDPB employees to be able to raise any
such concerns through their organisation’s existing systems, as they would any other
issue that may affect them.</p><p> </p><p>Policy and products about whistle-blowing
and raising a concern have been made available to Civil Service departments. The products
include a specific policy and FAQs for employees of Non-Departmental Public bodies
(NDPBs). The guidance encourages employees of NDPBs to report perceived wrongdoing
within their organisation, including a breach of the organisation's core values. An
employee should raise these types of concern with their line manager straight away.
If the employee feels that it is not appropriate to raise a concern with their manager,
they can raise it with another senior manager or directly with a Nominated Officer
within their parent department. Concerns can be raised confidentially and investigations
will be conducted sensitively and as quickly as possible.</p>
