Whistle Blowing Policy

[Alison]

I cannt find whistle blowing policies when doing a forum search

 

I feel ours is only basic, a section in our child protection policy about what to do if we have concerns about a colleague but I wanted to compare what we have with what goes into a whistle blowing policy?

 

I might be wrong but I suspect after recent news events that this will be something Ofsted might be looking for

 

thanks

Thanks for posting this Rea, it has helped me with revising our own whistleblowing policy.

If you go to www.birthtofive.org.uk they have lots of sample policies. It is run by our Early Years Advisory Team for Lincolnshire.

If you go to the 'Welfare Requirements Documentation & Guidance section' on the Left hand side you'll find loads of stuff.

LMAO your not alone

 

my daughter was looking over my shoulder when I was posting this topic and asked why we needed a whistle blowing policy..... I couldn't resist telling her.... "it is essential that all early years workers know the correct procedure for operating a whistle incase they choke" and even at the age of 18 she had to say "really?"

 

Laura I just want to say the birthtofive site is great just been having a snoop at some of the resources available on it, our LA are only just getting to grips with providing online information.... your lucky.
