Whistleblowing

In a safeguarding context, whistleblowing means revealing and raising concerns over misconduct or malpractice within an organisation, or within an independent structure associate with it.

It can be used as an early warning system or when it’s recognised that appropriate actions have not been taken.

The above contact details can be used to report any concerns about a young person’s safety or welfare.
