Posted By ddlhood Hi - a friend is a home carer and is having trouble with a fellow worker. The fellow worker is leaving notes on a note pad in the clients home stating that fellow carers are not washing clients or cleaning after clients ie housework. It is getting to the stage that my friend is scared to go to clients if this other person is following behind her.( the client suffers from dimensia) The complaints are being written on a notepad at the clients house for others to read and not being made to the office. Neither on company complaint forms. Supervision do not seem to do anything about this despite my friend complaining to her supervisor. Your advice is appreciated.

Posted By ddlhood Thank you for that saracen - my friend is very angry that this situation is being allowed to continue.I did suggest that this could be seen as bullying and that the employer has a legal duty to stop this.

Posted By Gilly Margrave Hi ddhood, This is one that needs a different kind of professional. I know some postees don't particularly like Trades Union Offficers but this is a situation where one would be really helpful. The main unions representing members in the Care Sector are T&S and UNISON. Gilly

Posted By ddlhood Thank you Gilly - my wife thinks that the woman is in the trade union. I never thought of that option. Thanks again
