So discriminating against potential service users on the basis of belief.

Show quote history

I had been going for the age bit underneath, but the whole tweet complaint is worth a read as yes one of the things they did was discriminate against the families that didn't whole heartedly go yes medicate, then surgically remove/add bits

I’ll find some. @Boiledbeetle I’m thinking of putting my car forward. He knows about as much about safeguarding and governance as the mermaids trustees. Maybe more.. he does watch judge Judy a lot.

@Happylittlechicken well with the CC going after mermaids that will cut the potential candidate pool immediately, so if you can manage to drum up a few more willing posters who then all throw the interview it will be down to between you and Nigel who's only qualification if that his mum's sisters husband's daughter is Brenda in accounts

Happylittlechicken · 02/12/2022 20:59

@Boiledbeetle more than happy to share the wages. The rate they’re going I could be the only applicant lol. No one of the calibre to turn mermaids around seriously would apply for a job with an advert like that. They need an experienced ,capable CEO, that screams we’ll take anyone with a pulse. I’m a shoe in 😂😂😂

're the age thing I've found it, it was the link Rex posted earlier. It's on the second tweet of the complaint

That would be a safeguarding nightmare

Like that's ever stopped them before.

BewaretheIckabog · 02/12/2022 20:42

Surely they weren’t running residential with vulnerable kids early or mid-teens and up to early mid-twenties. That would be a safeguarding nightmare.

Boiledbeetle · 02/12/2022 20:40

I'm not to sure, but they used to go up to age 19 then I was reading something earlier which i now can't find that mentioned that they opened the age up having another group which went up to age 25.

So it ended up with parents of now adult children who had done the full journey of meds and surgery informing the parents of the younger children on the forums.

I've read to many different things today so I'm not much help.

Boiledbeetle · 02/12/2022 20:23

They now support up to age 25 from a start of up to 19.

Mission creep.

Mission creep…or…and I hate that I’m thinking this- somewhat realistic assessment of delay in maturity caused by puberty blockers, so what used to be a normal developmental stage for teens now extends well into young adulthood?

What a thought.

FannyCann · 02/12/2022 20:32

@Boiledbeetle So have they reduced the advertised age range as a start to tightening up boundaries etc for the Charity Commission investigation?

Boiledbeetle · 02/12/2022 20:23

FannyCann · 02/12/2022 20:10

Also I note they state they are for "children and young people aged 20 and under"

Please correct me if my memory is wrong but didn't they previously include up to 24/25 in some of their events/forums? Maybe I imagined it.

It's incredibly desperate. Employee or daily rate doesn't exactly scream steady she goes.

Am tempted to offer one day a week from home. Happy can have the rest of week.

That's fine, but to make payroll's job easier would you mind identifying as Happylittlechicken for that one day?

I'm sure Happy will forward on to you your share of the wages.

Eventually!

In case anyone wants to apply

Wow That advert!!! With everything from salary to hours up for negotiation it sounds quite desperate, along with a tight lipped "Following the departure of their CEO"...

SpottyBumPony · 02/12/2022 20:03

That Times article is superb

No mention of Susie Green's unexplained departure last week.

Yes there was, briefly - they said she quit.
