star this property answer text <p /> <p>(a) Whilst Jobcentres remain the branding of the Department's frontline face to face service, the executive agency status of Jobcentre Plus ended during 2011-12 as DWP integrated its frontline agencies into one operation. DWP has a Whistleblowing policy which covers all employees. This encourages employees to raise any concerns about wrongdoing. Where an employee raises a concern under this policy, the procedures ensure that they are provided with protection, help and support.</p><p> </p><p>(b) Responsibility for the protection of whistleblowers in Work Programme providers rests with their employers. Employers are subject to the Public Interest Disclosure Act which protects whistleblowers from suffering any detriment as a result of raising a genuine concern.</p> more like this

Of these, it is estimated that 71% are providing less than 35 hours care per week. The FRS is known to underestimate the number of carers and the true figure is likely to be higher than this.</p><p> </p><p>Information on the number of those being cared for with ‘substantial care needs’ is not available as it is not possible to identify those individuals and their carers in existing survey or administrative datasets.</p> more like this
