WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MIDWIVES DARE GO AGAINST THE NHS?

19 September 2017 — Qualified as a midwife.

21 October 2021 — Raised my first formal grievance.

2021–2022 — Raised a further three grievances.

7 February 2024 — Resigned after years of raising concerns.

March 2024 — Threatened by a Director that “whistleblowers go missing.”

March 2024 — Publicly accused of killing a baby. I did not kill that baby.

April 2024 — Further defamatory statements made about me killing a baby,

June 2024 — GDPR/data protection breach by University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust.

July 2024 — Malicious referral made about me to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

July 2024 — Received threatening legal correspondence from Bevan Brittan solicitors.

February 2025 — Further defamation re killing a baby.

February 2025 — Devon and Cornwall Police attended my home following an accusation of harassment. I categorically deny that I harassed anyone.

March 2025 — High Court defamation proceedings.

Aug 2025 — High Court proceedings concerning the GDPR/data protection breach.

November 2025 — A colleague was referred to the NMC. I was named within that referral and defamed again. By the same individual as my previous NMC referral.

I qualified to care for women and babies.

I raised concerns because that was my professional duty.

LOOK AT WHAT FOLLOWED.

Grievances.
Resignation.
Threats.
Defamation.
Regulatory referrals.
Solicitors’ letters.
A data breach.
Police at my home.
Damage to my career and professional reputation.
Years spent chasing documents, evidence and answers.

And now — the High Court.

People constantly ask:

“WHY DON’T NHS STAFF SPEAK OUT?”

Perhaps we’re asking the wrong question.

WHAT HAPPENS TO NHS STAFF WHO DO SPEAK OUT?

What message does this send to the next nurse, midwife, doctor or healthcare professional who witnesses something they believe is unsafe?

Stay quiet and protect yourself?

Or speak up and risk everything?

I chose to speak.

I will not be frightened into silence.

Every document.
Every referral.
Every letter.
Every statement.
Every piece of evidence.

LET THE COURTS SEE IT.

This is bigger than me.

Whistleblowers must be able to raise concerns without fearing the destruction of their careers, livelihoods and reputations for daring to speak. @ArturNadol7566 @KenZeroHarm @YvetteCooperMP @andyburnham @Simonekatz4tay @BarbarasBack

For those of us of a certain age, the sight of this logo on the front of a bike meant so much. Whether you had a Chopper or Grifter, it meant freedom, adventure and hours with friends.

It is 35 years today since Ben Needham went missing from Kos in Greece.

ANNIVERSARY APPEAL - BEN NEEDHAM

Ben Needham was 21 months old when he went missing on 24 July 1991 from Kos in Greece. Born on 29 October 1989 in Boston, he lived in Sheffield, South Yorkshire with his mum, Kerry.

Kerry and Ben were staying with family on the island at the time of his disappearance.
The toddler was in the care of his grandparents while his mum went to work. At 2.30pm that day, their world stopped when they realised Ben was missing.

According to the Greek Civil Code, the statute rule is that a 20-year limitation period applies to all civil claims, so nobody can be charged.

If you have any information, contact South Yorkshire Police on 101 or investigation team on ([phone]. If you would prefer to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 our use their online reporting service (link below).

Alternatively, phone/text Missing People on 116 000 or email [email protected] quoting reference 91-000003. Sightings and information about any missing person can also be given anonymously through the charity’s website (link below). All information is passed to the police. Your identity will remain confidential unless you indicate that it is ok for the charity to pass your details on to the police.

@SwintonGroup £35 is totally unreasonable for the administration task.

[Andrea Cassidy @andreacassidy6]

@SwintonGroup please can you explain the £35(!!) service charge for changing my car on my policy? How does it cost that much? I have paid 3 times as much as the additional premium for swapping the car over. There is nothing that can justify that charge.

@AtkinsHila33108 @ICT_MrP The powers that be would never want someone who has been at the chalkface and who knows what they are talking about ☹️

[Andrea Cassidy @andreacassidy6]

@ICT_MrP You forgot school trips and residentials, the ones where teachers have a free day out somewhere or a free holiday. So relaxing 😵‍💫🤪

[Mr P MBE @ICT_MrP]

Another day, another flippant comment made on Loose Women undermining the job of teaching.

Can you open your heart and home to a retired police dog in need? Meet Retired Police Dog Roscoe, a loyal and affectionate dog who has spent his life serving with the @MODPolice and is now looking for a calm, experienced retirement home where he can finally relax and enjoy the good life he deserves.

Roscoe is a large, intelligent boy with a loving nature who absolutely adores human attention. He loves fuss, belly rubs and spending time with his people. Despite his working background, he settles well in the home and enjoys regular walks and companionship.

📍 North Yorkshire
🐕 Belgian Malinois
🎂 DOB: 01/09/2017
👦 Male (entire)

🏡 Roscoe would suit:

✔ Experienced owners familiar with working breeds or behavioural management
✔ A calm home environment
✔ Children aged 15 and over
✔ A home where he is the only pet

⚠ Things to know:

• Due to his previous operational role, Roscoe can be alert around people with covered faces or hoods
• He may react to fast-moving bicycles
• Dog introductions need to be slow and carefully managed
• He can become physically playful when excited due to his size and strength

🩺 Health:

• Seasonal skin allergies (managed with medication when required)
• Early onset osteoarthritis, currently managed well with daily pain relief
• He still enjoys his walks and quality time outdoors

He will be fully supported by the Foundation with the above medication 💙

Roscoe has given a lifetime of service and now deserves a peaceful retirement filled with love, patience, understanding… and a very comfortable sofa. 🛋️🐾

If you believe you could offer Roscoe the loving retirement home he deserves, please email expressing your interest, including a little about yourself, your experience with dogs, and why you feel you could provide the right home for him. Please email: [email protected] 📧

Please share to help this incredible boy find the right forever home.
