.. and PS it's not tittle-tattle, it's not grassing - it's reporting on bad patient care, in the interests of the patient.

no a whistleblower works legitimately for a company and then disgrees with that companies operations and policy, i mole joins a company under false pretences with the intent to discover any wrong doing.

Thanks... it was whistleblower that I was trying to think of!!! Thanks guys!!! My memory is shocking !!

[boxtops]

dotty, it can also be blowing the whistle on an individual who's not performing correctly - in the NHS it doesn't just relate to company policies, it's about bad practice too - we have policies on it. I imagine it's the same in ILB's situation.

Yes, it can, boxy. Workers in our homes encouraged to report any problems with care and to go higher and higher until something is done about it. Phone numbers for reporting are given out when you start.

[DJHawkes]

it's been the same in my last 2 jobs, at smiths and previously in debenhams, but no one is asked to go undercover, that's not the same thing at all.
