Third Party.
Friends and readers. Contact has been made with our associate George who has been unraveling the bullying scandal at the infamous Muirhouse Social Work Centre.
An employee who wishes to remain anonymous to protect her own safety got in touch through a third person to tell us what she knows.
This employee a Criminal Justice Social Worker of some years experience told George that Management within the Muirhouse Centre past and present and within a timescale of at least 5 years knew that bullying of staff was taking place.
Our informant herself was at this centre for a time and told George of a culture of bullying within the Community Service team which was clear for all to see.
She told George that the practice team manager was also intimidated and did not stay long,and it was clear to anybody that looked close enough that all was not well,and the atmosphere at times was poisonous.
When she left to work elsewhere she told colleagues of what she had experienced,but they were not surprised as rumours had already been circulated about what was going on at this centre in Muirhouse.
Once again we see yet another person come forward to relate what she knows,and it confirms what others have said that workplace bullying was openly practiced at this centre right under the noses of management themselves to intimidated to do anything about it.
How many have got to come forward and tell their stories before the penny drops and a full outside independent investigation is carried out into the working practices at this centre and the two protagonists suspended while a full and frank investigation is carried out.
We know that bullying in this centre goes back some time and it was known about in other districts within the city,the two culprits are well known to staff so it should not be a problem to find and suspend them during an investigation.
Pilton Sucks deplores workplace bullying and is actively campaigning for a law making it a criminal offence,to in any way harass,intimidate or in any way threaten any member of staff.
Once again Pilton Sucks is demanding an outside independent investigation into this centre in Muirhouse where we know without doubt that workplace bullying has been taking place unchecked.
Several people who have contacted us have told us that if asked they will come forward and tell what they know. These individuals have never been contacted by the Health and Social Care Department at any time to give their evidence yet Pilton Sucks sent a private and confidential letter a senior manager giving the names of those that would like to speak out,but as yet as far as we know,no contact has been made.
Pilton Sucks is very clear were they stand on this. Our community has it’s fair share of social problems,we don’t need to add workplace bullying to them. Lets have a full investigation into what happened at this centre.Pilton Sucks is more than happy through our associate George to assist in any way.
