Page 51 - 1.Felicity Online policies 2021

 Bullying, humiliation, discrimination, poor practice, unsafe practice, abuse or neglect
 Deliberate concealment of information about any of the above

Aim of the policy

 To encourage you to feel confident in raising concerns and to question and act upon concerns and
practise
 To provide avenues for you to raise concerns in confidence and receive feedback on any action taken

 To reassure you that you will be protected from possible reprisals or victimisation if you have a
reasonable belief that you have made a disclosure in good faith.

 To ensure that you receive a response to your concerns and that you are aware of how to pursue them if
you are not satisfied.


Felicity’s Fledglings Nursery recognises that the decision to report a concern can sometimes be a difficult
one to make. If what you are saying is true, then you should have nothing to be worried about as you will
be doing your duty to your employer and those for whom you provide a service.
Fear of getting information incorrect or being disbelieved may lead to concerns being ignored and an
issue not raised.
Any employee or volunteer who, acting in good faith, wishes to raise such concern should normally
report the matter to their supervisor or manager immediately.
Concerns will be investigated and resolved as quickly as possible. If an employee or volunteer feels that
the matter cannot be discussed with the managers then Ofsted can be contacted by
email- [email protected] or by phone on 0300 123 1231
Don’t think “what if im wrong?”, think, “what if im right?!”
Felicity’s Fledglings will not tolerate any harassment or victimisation (including informal pressures) and
will take appropriate action to protect you when you raise a concern in good faith, that you will not suffer
any personal detriment as a result of raising any genuine concern about misconduct or malpractice
within the setting.

This policy should be read in conjunction with the staff code of conduct, safeguarding policy and
complaints.
