My views having Whistleblown in 2 separate roles where I witnessed vulnerable children who DIED and suffer extreme harm, I only went thru 1 Employment Tribunal. It was a complete farce. I was told my application was out of date, having been assured that it wasn't. I was told there was no public interest... vulnerable children, aged under 18 are covered by the Children's Act. Their placement was paid by the Local Authority. Complete BS. I didn't meet the Barrister representing me before the hearing, if I had I would not have agreed to him, he could barely string a sentence together! I didn't receive the bundle until the night before the hearing, no opportunity to review it, many documents missing. My solicitor told me that the bundle had to be agreed with the other party! More BS. My solicitor failed to call any witnesses, he had statements that completely contradicted those of my employer. It was very apparent that my solicitor didn't represent me. He exploited me His lack of knowledge of Safeguarding and in the public interest was unbelievable In my next role I made a decision that the ET route was not fit for purpose The Whistleblower Policy clearly identified that a Whistleblower could disclose to the Media I made sure I documented and recorded everything Gagging Orders can NOT be used for Whistleblowers, to cover up crimes or where a statutory legal duty exists Money was never my motive I witnessed and experienced a number of children who DIED and Local Authorities LIED to cover up their failures and crimes We need to stop thinking that the ET process is fit for purpose, its not Social Media is a very good source to use to raise our concerns in the public interest when PIDA doesn't work We have Tribunals whose one job is to protect the brand, where is the public interest in that My employers - both of them - bullied and abused me until I considered suicide as a means to escape their abuse The same issues and abuse used on the vulnerable children I worked with They created fraudulent data to cover up their crimes and their abuse In my case the Director of Law and Governance abused me until I considered suicide and then created the data to cover up their crimes, just as they did with the vulnerable children in the home where I worked. The Director of Law and Governance is also Coroner for Oxfordshire Imagine a Coroner who acts in such a vile way Remember Dr David Kelly.... another Oxfordshire resident whose death was recorded as suicide by the Coroner and to avoid being challenged his medical records were sealed for 70 years How many more 'suicides' are arranged and covered up relating to Whistleblowers After Ruth Perry's death there was some acknowledgement of the part Ofsted played Where was my Article 2 Right to Life Tortured by the State and labelled as mentally ill...... Avoidable deaths..... There are plenty in Oxfordshire but the State marks its own homework within Serious Case Reviews
