answer text <p>Since issuing the guidance of 29 June 2015 HMRC has seen changes in the way the Employment Allowance has been abused. HMRC undertakes a wide range of targeted compliance interventions, including where appropriate referrals for criminal prosecution, to address any abuse of the Employment Allowance. In November 2016 HMRC formed the Employment Status and Intermediaries team which leads the operational response to issues such as the abusive use of the Employment Allowance by agencies and payroll companies.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Speaking up and raising concerns should be routine in business in the National Health Service and is a key part of ensuring patient safety and improving the quality of services. The NHS should support and welcome all staff to raise concerns wherever they spot them, without prejudice to any personal feelings regarding those speaking up.</p><p> </p><p>NHS Improvement has developed the national integrated whistleblowing policy, which acts as a minimum standard for NHS trusts, and has been designed so as to minimise the chance of personal feelings influencing the way that people who speak up are treated.</p><p> </p><p>The National Guardian’s Office has advised the Department that all NHS trusts are required to have a Freedom to Speak Up Guardian to provide safe, consistent, person-centred support for speaking up, whether the individual would qualify for protection under the law or not. Freedom to Speak Up Guardians are trained by the National Guardian’s Office to support all individuals equally. They also work within their organisation to improve all aspects of speaking up so that individuals receive the same quality of support irrespective of the route that they use.</p><p> </p><p>Their training also routinely includes an assessment of their organisation’s speaking up / whistleblowing policies so that aspects of policies that may act as a barrier to speaking up are identified and changed.</p>
