I am absolutely hopping mad at the way they have ignored me I feel quite angry an agency such as theirs are being paid a lot of public money to provide a service and to have the balls to actually tell me they'll do a mainstay form and that's it - worst of it is I knew this would happen and I was particular when I was fobbed off in March to make them accountable in June.

I've someone due for release in July and in March I rang Shelter in the prison to advise the guy would be nfa so needed helping - they told me to ring back closer to his release date. I therefore rang twice a week for about the last 3 weeks leaving messages and in the end wrote to the prisoner to tell him to go and tell them i'd been ringing and wanted to know what they were doing to help him - feckin ridiculous having to go through prisoners to get agencies to answer my flaming messages anyway next thing a phonecall off Shelter to say that they had referred my guy to a housing agency but cos they knew he and a member of staff were 'connected' (im unsure how) they couldn't help him and so all they could do was fill in a Mainstay form with him. Now this is the interesting bit they said that they will fill the form and send it off but wont be ringing around any hostels etc as they've not got the time etc to do that. <br /><br />If Shelter read this and want clarification of prison and people involved I am happy to give them.

This is because Sodexo require an additional 15% staffing over and above final end state staffing figures to facilitate the implementation of their new IT systems. In other words, we need your "ongoing commitment" just so long as it suits us.<br /><br />So any staff in the BeNCH area wouldn't be able to take redundancy and move on elsewhere unless the new role commences post April 2016.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
