Cabinet Office has a whistleblowing policy and procedure in place which allows for civil servants to report a perceived wrongdoing within the department, including something that they believe goes against the core values in the Civil Service Code. The Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (PIDA) will apply in some of these cases, and provides protection to those that \u2018blow the whistle\u2019 in certain circumstances.<\/p>
<\/strong><\/p> The figures provided in the table below show the total number of whistleblowing cases that were protected disclosures under PIDA (A).<\/p> <\/strong><\/p> The table goes on to show the number of cases found to be valid under PIDA (B), the number of employees that alleged detriment as a result of the disclosure under PIDA (C), and finally the number of employees who made a disclosure under PIDA, alleged detriment as a result of a disclosure and subsequently left the department (D).<\/p> <\/strong><\/p> <\/p><\/td> A.
