The review of responses to the consultation on whistleblowing to prescribed persons will be published next month.
In today’s (June 25) House of Keys sitting, Julie Edge MHK asked the Minister for Enterprise, Tim Johnston MHK, when he intends to publish the outcome of the consultation into prescribed persons for whistleblowing.
The Minister said that the review of responses to the consultation on whistleblowing to prescribed persons is currently being finalised and will be considered by his Department shortly, ahead of being published in July.
He added that, ‘Following publication the Department is likely to bring to Tynwald an Order seeking approval for changes to the current list of prescribed persons in autumn this year.’
Whistleblowing
The Isle of Man Government’s Whistleblowing Policy describes the protections available to those who raise concerns (Whistleblowers), what matters are reportable, how staff can safely report concerns as well as how they will be protected and supported.
Employees are often the first people to witness any type of wrongdoing within Government.
The information that employees may uncover could prevent wrongdoing, which may damage Government’s reputation and/or performance, and could even save people from harm.
Employees are strongly encouraged to raise concerns which fall within the scope of the Whistleblowing Policy, rather than remain silent.
