Thanks for the advice, everyone, and useful pointers also. I'm still waiting for an appeal date. I have another meeting with my local councillor who intends to escalate my grievance and appeal. My last post was a bit stressed, but I'm fighting back.
I was advised to put in a holding letter regarding the appeal. I asked very specific questions regarding the company's responses to my grievance. I requested evidence for their decision, not uphold any part of my grievance. I've had no response.
Yesterday, I was asked to attend a teams meeting with two managers. They suggested I shared privileged information in a team meeting with my colleague's regarding a proposal universally known as Staying close. It relates to accommodation throughout the UK for young people. It's on .Gov website.
Both managers asked how I got the information and why I shared it in the team meeting. I advised both managers that the entire team was invited to the original meeting, where the information was shared with us. There are webinar invites sent out weekly to the whole service regarding Staying close. There are drop-ins for staff to pose questions. My team is integral to this service. We are a housing team.
Both managers were not at the original meetings or even seemed to be aware of other up and coming webinars. They seemed to be completely out of the loop. They asked if these were sent in emails. Also, I have 2 email addresses, one with my employer and the other for the LA I'm contracted to. This went on for an hour, asking the same question in a variety of ways, I presume to illicit a response to align my reaction to their narrative.
Anyway, this tends to be the routine, meeting after meeting with little relative content or substance.
I'm emailing my appeal again with the added information, HR did suggest they would accept the new information. I will pose the question again why my grievance was not upheld.
I've changed my union. I'm hoping they will be more supportive.
Thanks for all the advice and suggestions. I do take them on board. I research any suggestions for new information. I love research, which apparently is one of their criticisms, although I can not fathom why.
Like some of the people on this forum, these situations of stress can de-centered your being, keeping you alert but in a high state of anxiety, not always, but sometimes. Thanks
The timescales since this began, it is about 6 months. Although, I raised the grievance initially in 2022 but HR didn’t respond for at least 6 to 8 months.
Hopefully this will be over soon and I can change jobs and continue to work with my young people, my stress is nothing compared to their experiences. Their achievements are a good leveller, I admire what they achieve in the face of adversity.
Thanks.
