Raising Concerns and Whistle Blowing in Care Homes and Nursing Homes Training by BVS (Teaser)

As a social care worker or volunteer, your first responsibility is to promote the safety and well-being of the individuals you support, protecting them from danger, harm and abuse at all times.

In part this is achieved when you come across a situation that causes you concern and you report this to an appropriate person.

Designed to give you the confidence that sharing a concern is the right thing to do, this video will help you answer such questions as: Why do I have to raise my concern? How do I raise a concern? Who should I tell? What should I do if my concern is not dealt with appropriately? It starts by exploring how we often raise concerns naturally and informally as part of our day-to-day routine and that this is a positive thing to do.

The DVD then considers what types of concerns you must raise: resource problems; operational difficulties; bad practice

It concludes by looking at where to go for support and the benefits of whistleblowing.

Subjects covered include:

Talking openly about issues and concerns • Concerns that must be raised • How to raise a concern • Responding to Inaction • Benefits of whistleblowing

Duration: 30 minute DVD in 7 sections to be used in a suggested 3 hour training session.
