@JohnCollier13 This means that Jimmy & Christine’s original whistleblowing complaint can now be pursued and the details of how they were treated during their complaint. Now it has been established they were legally employees they do have protection under the Public Interest Disclosure Act

[FCUKMistreated @FCUKMistreated]

Fab news, the truth about the Johnstone’s treatment & the poor practices the fostering family were subjected too Are going to be exposed. These need to be stopped & only then will FC’s be able to appropriately advocate on behalf of their kids without threats and recriminations.

[FCUKMistreated @FCUKMistreated]

@JohnCollier13 Jimmy & Christines complaint was that in their view they made a protected disclosure (Whistleblew) and were bullied, intimidated & abused for doing so. The LA argued that as they were not employees they had no whistleblowing protection. The tribunal ruled they are employees. 🤣

📰 Breaking News! 📰 Great piece on the judicial review we brought against the govt this week to force them to extend #HealthAndSafety rights to all workers, featuring powerful interviews with some of our #FrontLineHeroes 📢

[IWGB @IWGBunion]

Did you know what only people classed as 'employees' are covered by health and safety law? We're at the High Court tomorrow to reclaim basic health and safety rights for ALL workers. Donate to help fund the case! ⚖️ https://t.co/CILnGZUkxG

🙌🙌MEET OUR NEW COMMITTEE🙌🙌

We are thrilled to announce our new committee for the foster care workers branch, recently elected at our AGM

[Kinship Carers UK @KinshipCarersUk]

#Kinshipvoices "Your granted an SGO to care for a child until he is 18, the courts & children services fail to tell you the parents can take you to court over & over again. What's the point of an SGO when you are told you are not the parent, they are, you’re just a carer?"

[FCUKMistreated @FCUKMistreated]

@MoyerLee Best of luck Jason, sure this isn’t the last we will hear from you. Very best wishes and many thanks for your help and dedication 😀
