Set clear ethical standard and train leaders to reward teamwork and not just individual achievement. Teamwork is a strength in orgs. It it’s seldom rewarded directly.

Orgs require to encourage direct open conversation. Many orgs rely on e-learning to address culture issues. Such an approach fails to correct the misperceptions I discussed above. Work to create a culture where staff feel discussing concerns with each other.
Build psychological safety. A safe culture isn’t simply the goal. It’s the environment where are goals are achieved. Also such safety isn’t the end result it’s a journey that is ongoing.
Next encourage early action. That way staff don’t need to snitch on their colleagues. Peer intervention is designed to support such early action. Earliest is way best. Early action leads to less harm.
I read this story last week. It’s clear pushback from speaking up is still an issue. All Settings would benefit from a focus on how a no snitching culture helps nobody. whilst welfare officers will help it doesn’t address this issue https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3w1g2zwj6jo
Finally when we introduce conversations on this issue early with young people we help prevent future issues. Much of what I discuss above can be implemented in younger peer groups also.
