answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2018 answer text <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> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 06/11/2018 17:03:42 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham
