Simon Bellwood's actions have ensured that children will not be locked up in solitary confinement in Jersey. It does seem that there is a desire to re-instate the old regime but as long as there are people like Simon and Stuart making a fuss and getting media attention, then children are much less likely to experience abusive regimes. <BR/>The problem is that whistle blowing is not done often enough because the person who does it becomes an outcast and is either sacked or has to leave. <BR/>I agree that others who worked in Greenfields should say something, but perhaps they need to keep their jobs. <BR/>I myself was a whistleblower (about 15 years ago). I had to leave my job as I would have been hated. The organisation I worked for allowed vulnerable people to be treated cruelly. Due to my complaints there was an overhaul and training given to staff and one person was sacked. The result was abusiove phone calls to me and the loss of a job. But it was effective in stopping the casual acceptance of cruelty. And that is the point of whistleblowing.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09735209584616815724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626894894147080419.post-29723174666641109612008-12-03T21:17:00.000+00:002008-12-03T21:17:00.000+00:00Yes I agree, more social workers should come forwa...Yes I agree, more social workers should come forward - children should come above their job.
