Whistle
Whistle Blowing Policy
In my role as a childminder I have a duty to report unacceptable behaviour:
- By assistants who may be working for me
- By other childminders
- By childcare workers
- By other professionals working with children to the relevant authorities.
This action will be necessary when:
- the behaviour is detrimental to children
- has placed them at risk
- has caused actual harm to them
- is illegal
In these situations I may be required to contact:
- the Police
- the Social Work Service
- the Care Commission
- other relevant body
To pass on the information known to me or to inform of events that I have witnessed.
I am also required to notify the Care Commission if I become aware of persons who are childminding without being registered.
