| Annotation | Whistle-blowing is the act of speaking out about wrong-doing in the workplace. Adults with learning disabilities are particularly vulnerable to abuse, and care staff play an important role in witnessing and reporting such abuse. This paper explores the experience of whistle-blowing on abuse in social care settings, and looks at how whistle-blowing can help to protect people with learning disabilities from abuse. It is based on a research project carried out jointly by the Ann Craft Trust (a national charitable organisation that seeks to protect people with learning disabilities from abuse) and the Centre for Social Work, University of Nottingham. (RH). |
