Toxic, bullying, fault-finding culture within management
Pros
The actual work with young people. The frontline practitioners.
Cons
Managers and SLT especially cultivate a toxic environment where frontline practitioners are actually scared of doing their work for fear of being reprimanded. Practitioners start doubting their abilities due to management constantly trying to find fault in their work as opposed to praise their achievements. This is especially baffling considering the emotional toll the work has on practitioners as well the so-called trauma-informed approach the organisation pretends to have. Practitioners are passionate people who care about their young people yet their life is made miserable and difficult by management and SLT. Bullies are allowed to stay in the organisation and it seems known to everyone yet nothing is done to address the situation. The turnover is incredibly high which is very telling and they will likely use the excuse of being a charity to explain it.
