Man who strangled woman given safeguarding job at Cardiff University

I was on the other thread. I never saw any Personal info that isn’t already public.

Shared this on FB, get this out there!!!

Why on earth was the other thread deleted?

Private information?
What part of it is private information?

a crime and prison sentence detailed in multiple places on the internet.
Viewable by the entire world.
A public statement by the university.

that's now private information?

How?

Cardiff University are acting abysmally here, both with the initial appointment to the support role and also to the recent news story about it.

This man does have a "right" to study and a past conviction even for violence shouldn't prevent someone from enrolling on a course. But, it should be considered as to whether you should be in university accommodation with young people. And it most certainly should be considered when appointing you to a role in a position of responsibility and care over those students.

If he was only wanting to study, he could have chosen to live off campus away from other students and not put himself forward for this role.

Also I don't think a conviction for strangling a woman should count as "private information". I think that should come under "information that everyone needs to know"

wtf

I'm worried that Mumsnet deleted the other thread. It's been in the papers, presumably?

I'd think that anyone with children either at Cardiff university or considering it for the future needs to know about this, rather than having it covered up FFS.

The other thread has been deleted as it “contained private information about another person”.

I really don’t know what the “private information” can have been. Posters were only discussing a conviction and subsequent job appointment that had been reported in the press.

It seems there’s no shortage of people willing to cover up for men like this.

Good God! This is terrifying, especially for any parents who have kids at Cardiff uni.

to believe that this man should not be allowed to live at Student Halls? http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/amiibeingunreasonable/4661249-to-believe-that-this-man-should-not-be-allowed-to-live-at-student-halls?msgid=-4661249#-4661249

However, considering the information presented we can confirm we are investigating to ensure all relevant information at the point of admission was presented in line with our policies

Are they saying it’s their policy for convicted violent criminals who apply for jobs with them to be upfront with the information that they’re convicted violent criminals?

WTAF?! It will be interesting to see how Cardiff's investigation goes.
