Whistleblowing in the care sector is a critical yet contentious issue. While the intention is to expose malpractice, unsafe practices, or abuse that could endanger the well-being of vulnerable individuals, the reality for many whistleblowers can be daunting. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) outlines clear guidelines for whistleblowing, emphasizing the importance of transparency and protecting those who speak out. However, despite these protections, the act of whistleblowing can sometimes lead to serious repercussions for the individuals involved.
