What you can do
To help you to consider your ethical responsibilities and know when to speak up, you should ask yourself:
- what do I need to do to fulfil my role and responsibilities to this child, young person, protected adult or colleague?
- am I secure in my knowledge of protected characteristics to feel confident to speak up?
- am I maintaining my knowledge, skills and abilities by regularly participating in professional learning in relation to child protection?
- what action do I need to take in relation to my position of trust as a professional?
- do I feel confident in my role as a professional to speak up and raise concerns?
- how can I find out who I should talk to, and what should I do, when something doesn’t feel right?
- should I seek assurance that the concern I have raised is being investigated?
