Whistleblowing in social care: improving organisational practice

Raising concerns at work should be seen as part of normal day-to-day good working.
Managers and staff should listen to what the whistleblower is saying and make sure concerns are managed. More guidance: www.scie.org.u...
Whistleblowing isn't always easy. However, if seen as part of routine practice, organisations have a better chance of making quality improvements for staff and the people who use their services
An open culture where concerns can be raised helps to build a safe working environment and effective learning organisation.
What is the video about?
A film to encourage organisations to create a safe environment for staff to raise concerns openly as part of normal day-to-day practice.
Who will find this useful?
Managers, health and social care staff, housing staff, social workers, care providers, care staff, people who use services.

Sorry but this video is utter nonsense because The front line staff protect patients from dim management instructions.
'Operations Directors' have the whistle blown against them but lawyers protect the managers and attack the whistleblowers.
Disappointing video that assumes managers are innocent.

Doesn’t mention who he is until the end of the message assuming we know…….” Sarah Vickery Practice Co-ordinator
