I’m interested in why people perceive whistleblowers as the problem, and not the people committing the actual crime that the person felt compelled to report.

That ‘telling’ is bad?

For example, if I was to say ‘this professional of this institution was found to have done X’
More people would probably respond with ‘omg why is she putting that out into the public arena and airing dirty laundry?’ than ‘omg that professional has done something terrible’.

Whilst we all still operate like this, we ALL collude with abuse, discrimination, bullying, offending & poor practice.
We ask our clients to trust us with their safety and their wellbeing but we can’t even trust each other. Even when someone raises a concern, they are silenced.

Easily and by a loooooonnng way, my major issue with the fields I work in is that too many people put their own ego and professional and organisational reputation and money above the safety and well-being of clients and their own staff.
Corruption is rife and we all know it.
