Section 77 of the Equality Act 2010
ACAS Code of Practice
Section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996
Extremely poor management: Communication from leadership was often dismissive, unprofessional, and at times inappropriate. Legitimate concerns around equipment, safety, and staff behaviour were not taken seriously.
Understaffed and unsafe ratios: Regularly expected to supervise between 40–60 children with only one other staff member, without proper resources or support.
Faulty and insufficient equipment: Many laptops provided were non-functional or without chargers. No extension leads were available, which made running sessions nearly impossible.
Unpaid overtime and inappropriate demands: I was asked to store and transport company equipment without compensation or prior agreement. Overtime worked was not acknowledged or paid.
Questionable safeguarding practices: Leadership made disturbing comments—such as suggesting children drink from a bathroom sink. Multiple parent and child complaints about food quality and hygiene were ignored.
Lack of professional respect: Despite maintaining open communication (even while hospitalised), I received accusations of unprofessionalism without basis or evidence.
