Is there sufficient protection for employees who raise concerns about their employers delivery of a contracted employment programme?
6. The level of protection given to employees who raise concerns about the delivery of a contracted employment programme is entirely dependent on the individual employer. Papworth Trust believes this ‘lottery’ must end and that every employer should be encouraged to have a separate quality assurance process and a whistle-blowing policy in place to give staff freedom to raise concerns without fear of reprisal. Ensuring such measures are in place could form part of the evaluation for providers during the tender process. 7. At Papworth Trust, we operate a ‘public information disclosure policy’ which is made available to all members of staff. We are committed to ensuring that any malpractice is prevented and immediately dealt with should the need arise. Papworth Trust employees are encouraged to disclose any malpractice that they become aware of and we ensure that anybody who does come forward is able to do so in a discreet manner and is protected from punishment, victimisation and harassm
