X’s Referral to Suffolk County Council Harassment Advisor
10th June 1998
At about 14. 00 hours X made contact by telephone with Mr Derek Lay who was then the Suffolk County Council coordinator for the Harassment Adviser scheme. Mr Lay asked for a brief summary of the problem. The problem being of course that related to the unlawful behaviour of Deputy Chief Fire Officer Simon Smith. Mr Lay then advised that he would refer the matter to one of the County’s voluntary Harassment Advisers who would get in touch with X. In fact that contact was made on the same afternoon by Mr Aubrey Webb who worked in Suffolk County’s Education Department. Mr Webb agreed to meet with X at his home address on the following Monday 15th June 1998 at 14.30 hours.
The Suffolk County Council Harassment scheme/policy is it says confidential. Funny that considering that news of the referral was leaked around the Suffolk Fire Service the next day. The leak being rumoured to be caused by Derek Lay who claimed it was normal for him to notify the relevant heads of department (The Chief Fire Officer in this case) of a harassment complaint!
So an Harassment policy with qualified confidentiality?
