What our members say about us

"It can often feel like you don’t have a say in the big decisions affecting your career. I joined the FDA to make my voice stronger, and to add it to the thousands of others standing up for civil servants.”


"When my appraisal didn't seem fair, I contacted the FDA. They helped me through the appeals process and successfully appealed the original box marking."

"I never thought I'd be accused of bullying, so when allegations were made I didn't know what to do. The FDA was there to help me through some very anxious times, providing excellent professional advice, support and representation. And they defended me successfully."

 

“The FDA is an important safety net and ally… You wouldn't own a house without insurance - and your career and reputation are even more important.”

FDA: House of Commons was right to extend the bullying and harassment enquiry. But there is more to be done
The scrapping of the cut-off date for historical complaints is an important first step. However, the House still needs a fully independent complaints process, says General Secretary Dave Penman.
