No one has bullied you Mr Maltby they have merely responded to your comments. As I have previously stated it is apparent you have never experienced bullying.

Mr Maltby you have obviously not experienced bullying your comments are offensive, each persons case is individual and no one has gone into any detail, you have automatically jumped to a conclusion without having any facts.

Thanks Anne. Bullying will be eradicated when people learn to say no and make a stance. With regards to Linda I suggest you keep a diary and write everything down, dates and times. Unions are rubbish, trust your instincts if you think it wrong then it is.

Bullying has been brushed under the carpet for far to long. No one is above the law councils need to be held accountable for the actions of their staff. I suggest people should write/ email there local Member of Parliament and ask them to support a change in legislation.

I was bullied by a manager for over 12 months. I made a formal complaint to the Local Government Ombudsman with regards to the way City Council dealt with my Grievance and Appeal. I was informed that they were unable to investigate personnel matters. The Grievance was based on Bullying and Oppressive Behaviour the witness’ where not questioned on these matters.
There are public policy issues beyond my individual dispute in the way in which the system is administered, the inability for a grievance to be addressed fairly and dispassionately, the need for the equivalent of an ombudsman to be able to investigate such contested cases.
There are 34 County Councils and 238 District Councils in England, 32 in Scotland and 22 in Wales. How many employees have been subjected to Bullying and Oppressive Behaviour by managers who have in effect dealt with the matters internally and reached the required result the council wishes to achieve. Local councils investigate there own complaints, which I feel is a conflict of interest.
I feel this matter needs addressing and the way to achieve this is through Legislation in the House of Commons, by introducing a Local Government Bill, or Parliament to extend the powers of the Local Government Ombudsman to include personnel issues.
