I've namechanged for this because I'd like to keep my mumsnet anoniminity.

This weekend I'll be delivering a presentation on Whistleblowing for an NCMA regional forum.

What I'd like to know is...

Have you ever Whistleblown on another childminder or other professional?

And have you ever opted not to report someone you know you should have and why?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi PP

I have reported an unregistered childminder 4 times over the last two years. Nothing has ever been done, except a letter being sent by ofsted to the 'childminder' about how to become registered.

TBH I won't ever bother again - I was seriously worried about the safety of the children (2yo being allowed to play outside unsupervised) I put myself in a difficult situation, as I only live in a very small village. But as I saidd nothing was ever done.
