Of questionable letters of commendation…

I have recently become aware of a letter of commendation from the council’s own schools' HR Business Manager - on the website of the ‘independent’ consultant who was due to lead the whistleblowing investigation.

It was put up there shortly after our whistleblowing case was deemed not in ‘the public interest’ by said consultant.

I would not be so bold as to say that the council paid a consultant to smooth things over for them, thereby -to all intents and purposes- gaslighting a group of wronged ex-employees and governors of a school, to whom the council owed duty of care. But it sure as hell is on the suspicious side. No?

Dear Colleague,

I have used the services of [dispute resolution consultancy] on several occasions when I've needed independent help with the resolution of disputes and conciliation casework.

[The consultants] have extensive and sound knowledge of employment law and have particular specialist knowledge in the education sector.

[The named consultant]’s approach and presentation is clear and honest and she has a way of identifying the real issues that may have been missed or overlooked in the process.

However, my fundamental reason for returning to [the consultant]'s company is her absolute integrity in whatever she does. Her focus is always to achieve the conclusion that is fair and right and I have complete trust and confidence in her work.

Yours sincerely, 

[Name]

Schools' HR [council] - Business Manager
