Eileen Chubb (born 1959) is a British whistleblower and campaigner. She has an interest in all sectors but the care home sector in particular. She campaigns for new legislation to replace the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 to improve whistleblowing rights in the United Kingdom. Chubb is critical of the ability of the Care Quality Commission to effectively inspect care homes. She has visited over 300 care homes in the UK undercover. In 1999, as a care worker herself, she had her initial experience of abuse and whistleblowing as one of the "BUPA 7" in Isard House care home run by BUPA in Bromley. In 2001 she founded Compassion in Care. It was set up as a charity with herself as director in 2003.〔(Company check )〕 In 2008 she released the book Beyond the Facade which described her experiences. From 2012 to 2013 she was charity director at Whistleblowers UK.〔 In 2014 she co-founded The Whistler, a fellowship alliance between Compassion in Care and the Centre for Investigative Journalism (CIJ).〔(The Whistler website )〕 In February 2015, she gave an initial response to the Freedom to Speak Up Review report into NHS whistleblowing, produced by Sir Robert Francis, describing it as "a complete betrayal of whistleblowers”. ==Edna's Law== Edna's Law is Chubb's view of the required replacement legislation, named after a care home resident Edna who died after cruel abuse: * Criminal offence not to act on the genuine concerns of a whistleblower * Deterrent because of strong case law precedents. * Whistleblower would be protected witness. * Compensate for loss of trust and loss of employment. * Criminal offence to harm a genuine whistleblower. * Wrong-doing is public and is acted on. * State would prosecute and uphold the public interest. * Bad companies held to account which results in culture change. * Put victims of silence first and protect protectors. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eileen Chubb」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
