A Policy on Whistleblowing
It
is important that organisations think about how they allow workers
to share concerns about other workers in a safe and confidential
manner. One way of doing this is through a Policy on Whistleblowing.
Expressing concerns about a colleague’s unsatisfactory behaviour
towards others (especially children and young people) is not an
easy thing to do. However, it is important that such concerns are
communicated to appropriate individuals such as a manager or the
person in charge of a club or group. Individuals need to understand
that engaging with others in malicious gossip about another individual,
child and/ or young person is never acceptable. Any referrals made
to the List which are considered to be vexatious
or frivolous will be dismissed by Scottish Ministers.
