answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2017 answer text <p>The Department for International Development (DFID) has a robust process in place for reporting and managing all whistleblowing concerns. This process was recently refreshed to ensure it remains in line with Cabinet Office standards and recommended best practice. The process is managed independently by DFID’s internal audit department and has been designed to give confidence to all stakeholders to raise concerns, in line with the open and transparent culture that DFID has sought to create.</p><p>The whistleblowing reporting process is set out clearly on DFID’s external website (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-international-development/about#reporting-fraud" target="_blank">Reporting Fraud</a>) and in more detail within the department’s internal intranet, accessible by all staff. DFID has made civil service e-learning on fraud modules mandatory for all staff and has embedded fraud awareness components across many of its core training interventions. DFID has appointed a dedicated fraud resource across the department’s country office network to support staff on an on-going basis and keep the profile of whistleblowing high.</p><p>In additional to the regular awareness raising activities undertaken, DFID played an active role in publicising the cross civil service whistleblowing awareness week in 2016 and will do so again during September 2017.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 12/09/2017 14:39:46 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
