The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has a robust whistleblowing policy in place and individuals are encouraged to raise a concern immediately if they are concerned about any wrongdoing. If a concern is raised through the policy procedures, the individual will be protected. Information on this departmental policy can be found on the department’s intranet.
