Sniper-harsh but fair! Have lots of similar horror stories and know that plenty of other colleagues do too. This is exactly the sort of information that is consistently swept under the corporate carpet to protect"interests". This underlines the concept that there is absolutely no point whatsoever in rules/guidelines if they are not policed or worse, applied liberally in an overall culture of fear of whistleblowing. Elderly people are abused in care-whistleblowers showed us that.Dead childrens organs were/are removed and discarded as trash in NHS hospitals-again, revealed to us by people with moral values that override misguided corporate loyalties.Large "heritage" organisations secure jobs and funding by producing grand new schemes-otherwise known as "optional downloadable patches" over years. By the time some bright young thing actually makes things real-we`ve all forgotten what the fuss was about! Is the new EH/Churches thingy enforcable as part of the planning debacle?
