The hidden horror of bullying
It has come to the attention of PiltonSucks.com that bullying is alive and unfortunatly thriving in North Edinburgh.
We have been told through informed sources that at least two cases of bulling at the Muirhouse Social Work Centre are currently or should be under investigation. Our reliable informant tells us that the bully has been practicing this behaviour for some time and has been getting away with it.
PiltonSucks.com deplores this kind of disgusting behaviour and we hope the social work department are taking these allegations seriously. However,iIt would seem that this is not the case and the people making these allegations have been suspended yet the alledged bully has not and continues to work at the Muirhouse social work centre. Our source tells us that a cover up is the order of the day, suprise - suprise, and that the alledged bully has had no action taken against him. It would also seem our reliable source tells us that this person is well known through out criminal justice in Edinburgh and in particularly community service where he is employed as a community service manager. We are told his correct title is Community Service Officer. If this is true and we have no reason to believe otherwise then this is completely unacceptable.
If senior managers are aware of this characters behaviour and are hiding behind the rulebook to protect him then they to are guilty of condoning this disgusting behaviour. If there is a full and frank INVESTIGATION from an outside authority and the evidence which PiltonSucks.com has seen comes out as it should we will be more than happy to name and shame this horrible individual.
So come on Muirhouse lets have an open investigation get this individual out of his position where he can no longer inflict such pain and suffering that is obviously going unchecked.

Perhaps a FOI request to ask how many people are on ‘Gardening Leave’ from the mentioned office will get some results.

You have to dig into this. There were 10 million pounds in the budget for Gardening Leave. They have so far spent 18 million this year. There is a lot to look into.
