7. Who am I?
• Once upon a time, there was a young girl who loved going to
school. However, she lived in an area where some political
leaders didn’t want her to go to school. They used to attack the
schools and try to stop girls going to school.
• So one day this young girl, who was only eleven years old at the
time, started to make speeches and write blogs saying that girls
should be allowed to go to school as well.
• However, the people in power, who didn’t want girls to go to
school, wanted to frighten her to stop her telling people these
things. They knew lots of people around the world were listening
to what she was saying, so they made it clear that they would
harm her if she kept saying these things.
• The young girl did not stop saying her opinions. So one day, when
she was fourteen years old, a man came onto the bus when she
was on her way back from school and shot her. The bullet hit her
head. Luckily, this young girl did not die.

Whistleblowing
• Whistleblowing is the term used to describe when a
practitioner tells someone about a concern over a
colleague who demonstrates poor practice.
• This concern can range from a colleague who is negligent
and putting service users in danger to a colleague who is
bullying or abusing service users.
• The practitioner who is whistleblowing must not ignore
poor practice, they have a duty to report their concerns.

12. • Practitioners must report the poor practice
that they have witnessed to their supervisor
or named member of staff responsible for
safeguarding.
• It is good practice to write up your concerns
and give full details of the event or events.
• If you whistle blow you are legally protected
and will be fully supported by your supervisor
or manager.
• Share your concerns with the Care Quality
Commission (CQC)
