I used to work for a childrens charity, until just last week. I have left, but before i went i whistle blew on fraud that i had uncovered. In short, the charity is funded by the local social service department to provide foster carer's for disabled kids. The kids live with mum and dad and stay with the carer and their family one weekend a month. The agency have been claiming that they have provided more care than they actually have. This has been going on for about 13 years, when i came across it i went straight to my Director of services and expressed my concerns. I found this out four weeks ago, , i spoke to my union rep straight away. I have all the evidence to support my allegation. My dilemma is... If i pursue this, the agency will be forced to close as they will lose their funding from both local social services. But the children and their families that recieve services from the agency will suffer more than anyone else. This is a heck of alot of money not a few pounds.
