The 2019 Report on the Review of Whistleblowing Arrangements relating to Safeguarding at Merthyr Council MUST now be considered URGENTLY by Full Council. Its been HIDDEN away for far too long. The Senior Officers RESPONSIBLE for the #Unfair Dismissal of a Senior HR Officer MUST be made ACCOUNTABLE for their Gross Misconduct in Public Office. (#following a fabricated SOSR investigation arranged to cover-up the failure of an HR Manager cannot be ignored any longer)

Within 6 months, the Senior HR Officer was suspended.

He was Unfairly Dismissed in January 2017.

Job done in one year. Well done all 👍

The Audit Wales Audit Plan for 2022-23 also required the Council to review its whistleblowing arrangements.

The introduction of the new code will, so states Simon Jones, satisfy Audit Wales requirements regarding the Council’s whistleblowing arrangements.

Its good to see that the Full Council is updating its Whistleblowing arrangements.

However, I must express my serious concerns that the Full Council never got the opportunity to consider an earlier Audit Wales Report on the review of whistleblowing arrangements relating to Safeguarding at Merthyr Council

I have reported this matterto the Council on numerous occasions to no avail.

The New Whistleblowing Policy (Code) was approved by the Full Council on Wednesday 8th February.

The Author of the Report that was considered by the Full Council was Simon Jones, Senior Solicitor/Deputy Monitoring Officer.

Section 4.2 states that at a recent inspection by the Care Inspectorate for Wales, concerns were…

Democracy Campaigner fighting for the Senior Officers of Merthyr Council, the Chair of Governors and the Head Teacher of Ynysowen Primary School to be made accountable for the cover-up of their failures to follow Safeguarding and Child Protection procedures from February 2016. Also, for the Monitoring Officer to be made accountable for acceding to the demands to sack a Senior HR Officer made by a Cabal of 5 Heads of Primary Schools from the Southern Cluster led by Simone Roden, Head of Ynysowen. Also, for ensuring that the Council complies with the Constitution and the practice of good governance at all times.
