The banking/financial scandals are a good example."Shoot the messenger" is a widespread and unltimately cancerous management culture.<br />Sian Caiachnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-486444572699479234.post-13261127036719672522015-07-14T11:48:26.116+01:002015-07-14T11:48:26.116+01:00This is not limited to public services, why do you...This is not limited to public services, why do you think we still have banking scandals? From LIBOR rigging to PPI. as long as the "profits" were coming in and everybody and his dog were getting bonuses, whistleblowers and boat rockers were quietly silenced. There is no difference - white collar, white jacket, public or private sector. When people complain about the mess the banking crisis landed us in, my normal response is "first take the plank out of your own eye".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04287478786668225377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-486444572699479234.post-73174290154460123882015-07-09T12:48:07.463+01:002015-07-09T12:48:07.463+01:00Employees of PublicServices do not whistleblow lig...Employees of PublicServices do not whistleblow lightly but when they do they expect their disclosures to be looked into and acted upon. But despite robust Whistleblowing Policies (as in CCC) and the supposed expectation that NHS staff speak up it's found that the Public Bodies do not want to know. Complainants & whistleblowers are all unwanted irritants and every effort is made to avoid proper investigation of concerns, whoever from! You are still trying to persuade Public Bodies to act in the public's interest through your position as a Carmarthenshire County Councillor, I wish you well! <br /><br />Jennifer Brown (whistleblower)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01638232046048588614noreply@blogger.com
