Hi, passing on concerns will be what the network around you looks like, who you speak to about professional matters. Whistleblowing involves practice in a workplace that gives you cause for concern. ie. where a colleague uses emotional abuse - shouting, demeaning, teasing, taunting, physical abuse, punishment with hitting maybe, neglect ..

Doing it in a way that protects is by speaking to appropriate people who are in a position to manage an allegation following lawful policy and procedure, rather than discussing any concerns openly or freely with others, which may cause victimisation, misinterpretation, deformation of character, spread rumours, harm well-being and damage a relationship that may otherwise resolve problems quickly and positively/amicably. Knowing what it is that gives you cause for concern will help how you're able to protect children and those suspected of poor practice.

This is a good companion read: Protecting children - supporting foster carers

You local fostering service's designated allegations officer who will liase with the LADO children's services, foster care unit, social services, NSPCC

About making a disclosure in the public interest whistleblowing on direct.gov.uk

Hope this helps xx

You're welcome xx I understand what you mean. Each situation can be so very different that to have any other approach would be to discriminate. For more depth maybe look into human rights, and then at what you do, actively that safeguards children. It's good to read the rights without any premature judgements guiding how you feel xx
