My dh has crohns disease and is a police officer. He has worked in an office for the past year due to his condition (after 20 years fully operational). But now due to cuts he is being moved back to the an operational role.
We went to an appointment with the force doctor on monday who clearly stated there was no way he would be operational again but then on Friday he got a call from his boss to say he was being put in custody.
He is really upset and stressed, particularly as the doctor clearly stated this would not happen. So this is obviously making his condion worse. He has spent most of the weekend on the loo!
I have told him just to go off sick - as most people with the chronic diarohhea that he has, vitually everyday, would be off sick.
I think if he went off sick it would make the point that they need to find a more suitable job for him. As to lodge a greivence would be a difficult situation to put himself in with this sort of organisation.
Any thoughts appreciated?
