After seeing emails regarding actions taking place to silence me I understood how my Disciplinary Investigating Officer was being controlled despite on occasions doing her best to find out the truth. She was being hogtied by HR and senior officers who should not have involved themselves during the investigation as they had been involved in either the original investigation of the abuses or our (whistleblowers) complaint that the concerns had not been investigated properly or both. No way was she able to complete an unbiased investigation plus information she found out which should have been given to me in the Disciplinary File to be used in my defence at the disciplinary hearing was withheld. No wonder she was not at my Employment Tribunal as a witness for the CCC; instead my ex employer chose the HR officer who had been partnered her during the disciplinary investigation. I honestly believe she had been unhappy with what had taken place but had been put into such a precarious position that if she wanted to continue in her new appointment as an assistant manager to the officer who chaired my disciplinary hearing she had to put the wishes of the officers involved first. I have a feeling her employer would not have been able to rely on her not to speak the truth when under oath at the ET. Only strong minded, honest officers and members can change the toxic cover up culture within the CCC.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01638232046048588614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791817892794754996.post-54817461396857171052017-10-27T12:22:10.008+01:002017-10-27T12:22:10.008+01:00Couldn't find anything from link above just re...Couldn't find anything from link above just return to the comment so searched for Poulsen scandal and found this and much more http://www.thejournal.co.uk/news/north-east-news/rise-fall-mr-newcastle-4648788 . I would think when the CEO tells Cllrs someone is known to officers then extra questions need to be asked as this smells of a definite conflict of interest. This is a very interesting piece by Jacky and needs to be read by all Carmarthenshire County Councillors. The CEO and certain Officers and maybe some Executive Board members in Carmarthenshire CC have become too willing to ignore the need to look into matters where conflicts of interests arise and they have been and are allowing Public money to be syphoned off in support of people "known to officers" instead of it being used for the public good. Planning decisions also seem to be made not necessarily for the public good but because the people involved are "known to officers" this also can involve officers turning a blind eye when certain members of the public "known to officers" ignore planning rules and regulation to the detriment of neighbours (here I am thinking of the awful way Trisha Breckman and partner were treated by, not only, their neighbour but by Carmarthenshire County Council and its partner the Dyfed Powys Police too). It is time the Carmarthenshire people, who have fallen foul of the wrongful acts by CCC, were listened too and action taken to hold the wrongdoers and their protectors to account. The Welsh Assembly Government can do so but, it seems, won't. The Public Service Ombudsman for Wales (PSOW) has also shirked his responsibility where it matters on many occasions. All these bodies are in place to look after the Public Interest and are being well paid from the Public Purse to do so yet they fail to either because of cronyism, conflicts of interests, fear of speaking out because of losing their position/advancement and so give in to coercion. As a whistleblower I have seen evidence where certain matters were going to be looked into but it did not happen because of the way certain officers used their seniority to control what investigating officers did or did not look into or reveal; coercion abounded which went to the top of CCC. I personally contacted the CEO with information as to my dissatisfaction with how my whistleblowing concern was handled (abuse in a care home). I never had a reply back though the CCC's whistleblowing policy suggest he be contacted in that situation. He just passed the matter on to a Complaints Officer who does not deal with Social Care Complaints yet I have seen involved herself in the handling of my disciplinary investigation as did a number of others with an interest in my removal from my employment with the CCC. to cont.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01638232046048588614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791817892794754996.post-56165187836245030892017-10-26T15:59:24.430+01:002017-10-26T15:59:24.430+01:00https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=791817892...https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=791817892794754996&postID=2340504555564650122&isPopup=truehttps://www.blogger.com/comment.g<br />Public Servants seem to have forgotten the Poulsen scandal.Keanjohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05712816955263616297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791817892794754996.post-52707789324048399032017-10-26T10:01:57.037+01:002017-10-26T10:01:57.037+01:00Quite right, Teifion.
