Evaluate the ways in which concerns about poor practice can be reported.
 

Hi all,
My assessor has resubmitted my answer for this question.
She would like me to explain the following:
Is it easy to do?
How effective is it to find out about procedures?
As well as to give the positive and negatives of this?

My minds gone blank!

Thanks :)

Hi, would you say it's easy to report colleagues for poor practice? Consider the conflict you might feel recognising that someone's poor practices are damaging a child/ren yet not wanting to do anything that might jeopardise the working relationships you have with others in the setting, all at the same time as knowing it is your responsibility to safeguard every child placed in your care, protecting their right to be safe, healthy and free from harm.

Do you have a copy of your setting's Whistleblowing Policy?

Where and to whom would you report poor practice in your setting?

The effectiveness of discovering how to report poor practice means you will be empowered but you may also feel vulnerable. Once you know what's involved with the process you'll have knowledge that can be shared with others, enabling you to promote safeguarding, child protection, confidence and courage.

There are external sources of advice that you can use if you are ever in this position this page of NSPCC and PCAW

Hope this helps a little x
