Mr. Robert Watt:
Protected disclosure is complex and difficult and the Chairman knows all the reasons why that is the case. We are providing overview training and more advanced training but I take the point. Our Department has produced policy guidelines on how to deal with a protected disclosure and we have a process there which we go through. All public bodies now have to have that same guide. I might share that with the committee. It is a question of people understanding, training and culture. The culture needs to change.
