WHISTLE BLOWING
The UK offers legal protection to anyone who loses their job or suffers because of whistle blowing under the UK Public Interest Disclosure Act 1989.
If you are working with anyone who you believe is working in an unsuitable manner then you have a duty to report them. If you are concerned you need to approach your supervisor or the safeguarding officer and tell them as soon as you can, put your concerns in writing with names and dates and make sure that something is done. The aims of my schools policy are it is designed to ensure staff can raise their concerns about wrongdoing or malpractice within the school without fear of victimisation, subsequent discrimination or disadvantage. It is also intended to encourage and enable staff to raise serious concerns within school rather than ignoring a problem or blowing the whistle outside
Whistle blowing can be done by informing your manager or in my case the head master. My schools policies on whistle blowing are
· Encourage staff to feel confident in raising serous concerns at the earliest opportunity and to question and act upon concerns about practice.
· Provide avenues for them to raise those concerns and receive feedback on any action taken.
· Ensure that they receive a response to their concerns and that they are aware of how to pause them if they are not satisfied.
· Reassure them that they will be protected from possible reprisals or victimisation if they have made any disclosure in good faith.
· The school will recognise the need for confidentiality and the fact that the majority of cases will have to proceed on a confidential basis.
