Hello,

I really need some help with regards to one of the NHS clinical settings. It might be surprising for you when you hear healthcare organisations help spread of the virus while expecting the public to stay at home and protect the NHS. I've been having quite a lot of issues since beginning of the pandemic with my organisation regarding to making the workplace covid-safe. However, after such a long time finally some physical control measures have come in place but the behaviours never changed and recently they had organised an unnecessary event and had a summer tropical trip party with lots of finger foods and drink sharings, photo booths and a crowd of people on last Sauarday night in the office. Prior to the event myself as a responsible h&s person and the IPC manager sent a few emails to the relevant managers divisionally and corporately but our emails completely were ignored and they carried on with their plans. Now I have sent a complaint email to the relevant director, raising the issue, the lack of the communication and the fact that as representatives of NHS our staff mustn't be the ones who spread the virus themselve. The director didn't like my email and my manager instead of addressing the breach of health and safety by that setting has accused me for my email having a strong tone -  whilst the director herself publicly sent an email and belittled me for sending such email to her using her power to keep me quiet. This is not the first time this organisation has treated me disgracefully. But now it's not about me, it's about all staff, their families and patients who should come into contact to those staff memebers who might have contracted the virus and spreading it to others. I work in Leicester which is in local lock down as a result of an increase in new case.

I checked HSE's website, apparantly we cannot report the covid cases through them. I reported this incident to the local police and they said because it's a corporate organisation they cannot deal with it.

I highly appreciate your comments to help me how and who to report the incident and how to tackle this problem.

Many thanks,

Maryam

It  has but it doesn't go anywhere because Execs are responsible for the events.

if you have a specific grievance then you need to raise that through the appropriate channels...
