Whistleblowing
Whistleblowing in a safeguarding context means revealing and raising concerns over misconduct or malpractice within an organisation, or within an independent structure associated with it.
It can be used as an early warning system or when it’s recognised that appropriate actions have not been taken.
Any adult or young person with concerns about a colleague’s conduct towards a child, young person or adult at risk, can report this to the Safeguarding Team by emailing safeguarding@wbafc.co.uk or using our other reporting methods.
For any other whistleblowing concerns please email hr@wbafc.co.uk
Alternatively, concerns can be reported:
- The Child Protection in Sport Unit at cpsu@nspcc.org.uk; or
- The NSPCC Helpline on 0808 800 5000 or email: help@nspcc.org.uk
