UT UA-2024-000745-V - [2025] UKUT 129 (AAC)

I spoke to SLS and made her aware of some of the allegations made against her that had been reported to myself today.

I mentioned some of the accusations i.e. Telling an individual to ‘fuck off’, telling them ‘good, move then’ when the individual said that he wanted to move house. SLS denied these allegations, although did state that there was a conversation relating to moving house, but the conversation was more around that if he kept turning all these houses down then the decision may be taken out of his hands and his sister may have to make the choice. SLS did say that there is a rule that no one has a drink or access to the kitchen between 10pm and 7am as the sleep-in staff are right next to the kitchen.*

SLS also denied stating that the individual is not told he does not have enough money for things but makes him aware he needs to be careful about what he spends.

SLS also denies restricting drinks but will encourage to have alternative drinks before coffee (such as juice/water).

SLS also stated that the individual has made allegations prior about other staff but is currently pinpointing herself.

SLS was told that due to the allegations made that we would need to suspend on full pay, SLS was made aware this is not part of the disciplinary procedure, but a way to protect not only the individuals but herself form any further accusations whilst they are investigated.
