If all Councillors didn't read the report at the time, I would urge them all to do so now. The content is absolutely shocking.<br /><br /> I noticed some weeks ago that the Public Services Ombudsman For Wales website has been updated, and all reports prior to 2011 are no longer available on his website.<br />I have written to the Ombudsman, letter dated the 22nd May 2013, pointing out that I appreciate that websites need to be updated, but the earlier reports need to be available on his website, even if an archive section is set up. It is vital that these reports, which are in the public interest, are available for the public to access at all times.<br /> I refer specifically to the complaint I took to the Ombudsman in July 2006 about abuse of vulnerable adults. The Ombudsman published a damning report in Sept 2009,Report number 200600720. <br />I await his response.Delyth Jenkinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-28317568831298876502013-06-01T16:58:13.514+01:002013-06-01T16:58:13.514+01:00Under point 249 the needed to be some form of disc...Under point 249 the needed to be some form of disciplinary held by senior officer above those involved.

Despite this, Officer M was promoted to Head of Mental Health & Learning Disabilities in April 2008 on an interim basis, and then permanently in July 2009, even though two draft Ombudsman's reports had been produced by then severely criticising him.<br /><br />3) Why was the assault on me by the same carer, who 13 months later went on to hit a service user over the head in an almost identical way never investigated? Documentation I received from the Council shows that Officer F was asked to make a written statement on the same day as I had a telephone case conference with an Employment Tribunal Judge and a top Barister from Cardiff, engaged by the Council, in February 2011. This statement was her explanation of why she didn't instigate an investigation. No investigation took place and the carer went on to abuse a vulnerable person. I have raised this issue with the Director of Social Care several times but he refuses to deal with it.<br /><br />4) Officer M admitted to me in Nov. 2006 that when I told him and the Director of Social Care that Officer G had become very devious and was using other people to bully for him, whilst offering them protection, Officer M told me that he and the Director looked at each other, nodded and agreed with me. This poses the question if senior management knew that another senior officer was treating staff in this way, why did they do nothing?<br /><br />The Ombudsman concluded that there had been serious failure on the part of officers at all levels to record relevant facts, decisions and actions (point 249) and the Ombudsman also stated (point 324) that it was clear to him that I was entirely justified in taking my complaint outside the Authority.<br /><br />Delyth Jenkinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-50936346007393890762013-05-18T11:53:14.595+01:002013-05-18T11:53:14.595+01:00It's not too late, and as the Councillors were...It's not too late, and as the Councillors were not given the full picture at the time, I think it should be discussed again and dealt with appropriately this time.<br /> I am quite happy, if I am approached, to attend a full Council meeting, and the Councillors can ask me any questions they wish, and I will tell them the truth, and I won't need a script.<br />Maybe then they will decide that the abusers, bullies and as importantly, the Officers who protected one bully in particular, are brought to task.Delyth Jenkinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-21547567359669832072013-05-17T21:05:45.800+01:002013-05-17T21:05:45.800+01:00Kev has his tongue in his cheek and we couldn'...Kev has his tongue in his cheek and we couldn't understand him in English....
