Hi, I am a live in support worker who I supports on a one-to-one level with daily duties and support in care. I have been in this company for nearly 3 years without any problems till the last 6 months. I know in my position there is a long waiting list and anyone is fighting for the job. However going back in a few months ago I reported my senior ATM regarding something she had said to me which was " if I wasn't driving then I was a filling my job description and that means I should be dismissed ( Can I statue that i was involved in a car accident where a drink driver had hit me and I have been taking driving lessons to improve my confidence back on the road) How ever I reported this to my line manager which her response was this she REALLY Say that. And During this discussion I had also told my line manager that I wasn't happy with my one-to-one supervision as I believe the accusations that were written on there when not true e.g. regarding cleaning. And this senior that I have reported a bout she has accused me of not cleaning certain areas of the house which I know for fact I had. Then my Managers answer to this was then WHY would she say this. So as you can imagine hearing both of those answers I did get quite distress and started crying because at the same time my manager was giving me the third degree regarding this woman e.g. qualifications and experiences within this field of job etc. And from then on my job had been a living hell. However in April I had to take time off work regarding my back. Even though It wasnt causing me any pain but my physio had asked for me to do the light duties of work. as they couldn't find any light duties for me. my Manager then told me to go and get a sick note which I did. During my time off I received a call for my manager now stating that they wanted me to go in for a medical which I thought this was a protocols thing. ( But then talking to my other colleagues that this is the they have heard about sending someone to a medical unless it was real issues) So I went to this Medical which I was literally in there for 15 minutes and the doctor just didn't understand what I was doing there and Saying the company had kept asking him regarding a certain issue which he didn't understand either and why they kept repeating this certain issue? Once the medical had finished I went back and carried on with my shift to then My manager come around saying that I've got a meeting with HR regarding my back mind you the report I still haven't come in yet, But I had to attend this meeting and I wasn't giving no letter or anything and this was on the Friday late afternoon/evening. And the meeting was on a Tuesday. Once arriving there on Tuesday they barely spoke about my back and started talking about other issues regarding my duty of care which never ever has come up before so as you can imagine I was pretty shocked to hear what I was hearing once in there. Again I believe from others this wasn't the right protocol. So after the Meeting as you can imagine I was still pretty upset however walking back upstairs to the office I see this same senior looking at me with a dirty look like " ha you just had a meeting with the HR, Bet you didn't like that did you" Smirk and even tho it was in front of a room full of people she didn't say hello. But in front of my manager she did? Smart cow!! Basically because of the meeting above I managed to carry myself I'm believe I stuck up for myself well which they didn't expect of me. And now I'm getting the random spot checks done on me which I don't have no problems with, but don't know why I'm the only carer having the spot checks. And now iv believe iv been set up, to try and get me out of my job. Last week I received a letter from my work stating that I hadn't Taken my clients to his daily activities at the day centre on four occasions which I do have proof off as I have got taxi receipts and they Emailed the company to confirm if the dates were true that we had travel with them. But the teachers at the centre I'm not sure if they did or didnt us as its very busy they have six rooms and many others with disabilities moving around. and on two occasions my client was in continents and I had to get him home and on one occasion I remember bumping into the Teachers how ever the teachers are not sure if you have any recollections of actually seeing us or Not which is still fine. But still write a statement to my company. Basically to cut a long story short, I have been told I haven't been taking my clients to the day centre. They would not state on several attempts to say to me or my union rep to say if this was a formal or informal meeting and kept just saying all this is a investigation meeting nothing to worry about nothing to worry about. Then once I went to the meeting I ended up getting suspended? I'm still haven't told me on What grounds I have been suspended on? Then they started to investigate my union rep, To see if they actually worked for a union. Then They called me in for another meeting which again they stated it was just investigation meeting and she only wants to asked me a few more questions. Which surprisingly enough the gentleman from the HR had turned up. Which has me thinking that they think I was actually going to go in there alone as they kept stating this is just their investigation meeting but were shocked to see my union rep. However even though I answering the questions to the best of my abilities and the statements they have had Are actually not fact-finding evidence and a lot more hearsay. She has now said she is taking this to a disciplinary hearing. May I say I also said why don't they contact the taxi firm to which her answer was she thinks I have been me liaising with them. So she doesn't cast that as proof. I also said okay I would go with another taxi firm of there choice and in future take a Diary with me to get signatures from each teacher each time we go. ( you know as proof) but she still said no. And now everytime we try to contact the day centre the teachers are now refusing to talk to me & my Union rep Saying its confidentiality, and or we want to do is Asked them afew questions. They will not give me the witness statements or Evidence as yet. Even though my union rep has requested this and they're taking us to a disciplinary hearing.. Everything seems all suspicious even in my meeting the minutes in the statement she has made it out like I'm guilty of something, and is changing And twisting the Conversation. Ahh something doesn't seem right, but what can u do!??
