The SFE - Doc 95 Bury St Edmunds Fireman

X’s Notes 11th June 1998


At approximately 10.00 hours DO Hodge and ADO Middleton arrived at Lowestoft fire Station with Miss S Davies the Suffolk Fire Service Human Resource Manager. Their attendance was somewhat of a surprise considering that their work station was at Ipswich and that DO Hodge had stated he would collect all the necessary information/documentation he required the day previous (10th June 1998)

No other training Department personnel were on duty. Soon after their arrival it was apparent that DO Hodge was following me and houding me around the station. He was also engaging in making sarcastic comments at the same time i.e. ‘how are you….okay are you… well just wait till we have finished with you. Do Hodge was also observed searching X’s documents on his desk and undertaking a general search of the training instructors office. Asked what he was looking for his reply was ‘nothing.’

During this period Sarah Davies was observed to have located herself in the officer's mess into which DO Hodge & ADO Middleton kept returning to.

Beyond tea break DO Hodge continued to follow X around the station with increasing regularity creating a perceptible atmosphere of intimidation fuelled with mutterings, threats and general wise cracks. X informed the station FBU representative Mick Hyde by telephone call of DO Hodges harassing behaviour.

At approximately 11.30 hours Kieron Davey unexpectedly returned from Sizewell on account of the days training being suspended due to a lack of students. X informed Kieron Davey of the situation and told him that DO hodge and ADO Middleton were harassing him and seemed intent on causing personal harm. X then informed Kieron Davey that they were placing him under intolerable stress whereby he booked sick as a direct result of their harassment activities.

A sickness self-certification was completed at the same time reflecting the nature of the injury.
