Challenging public policy and gagging orders

Yossarian

There's an interresting piece in the Guardian about the potential reluctance of charities to challenge public policy due to a fear of losing contracts with local or national governments or due to gagging clauses placed within those contracts - here:(www.guardian.co.uk/.../charities-public-policy-funding-fears)

Can the NAS confirm whether there are any gagging orders in any of its contracts with local authorities, councils, national bodies or other public institutions?

    Hi Yossarian and Scorpion0x17,

    Thanks for getting in touch. I've been speaking with our Head of Policy to get back to you on this and she has confirmed that there is nothing in contracts that has prevented us campaigning/lobbying/commenting on Government policy. We have a number of campaigns that run throughout the year which lobby Government. 

    Best wishes,
    Mike, NAS
