Recommendation 29

The previous Committee took evidence on how the civil service responds to whistleblowing, and found that the government needs to do more to signal the value of whistleblowers.85 It is particularly important that everyone working on a site as hazardous as Sellafield feels free to raise any concerns they have. This Committee–and its predecessors–have received a number of letters from whistleblowers in recent years making serious allegations about how they have been treated by Sellafield Ltd.
