There are many different barriers to people reporting abuse. These include:
In order to overcome potential barriers it is important that if you report an incident to a line manager and nothing occurs, you should then continue along the management chain until the appropriate action has been taken.
If action is still not taken, you may have to go to an external organisation, like the social services, police, local authority, or inspectorate for the service in which the abuse has taken place.
It is important that you always follow organisational procedures, if you are unsure ask someone to clarify the correct procedures to follow.
