A lot of companies have social media clauses in these days - mine certainly does.

Even if I'm posting in a personal capacity, should those posts/tweets bring the company into disrepute I would be called up for a disciplinary hearing.

Depending on what I had posted, it could be considered as gross misconduct and thus a sackable offence.

It's pretty reasonable imho. If you are a senior manager of a company who has a responsibility to uphold equal rights and set an overall standard of good, professional conduct, tweeting or posting on FB accusing GOSH of murder, or saying the lawyer needs to be hit with a hammer is not exactly an indication of good judgement or belief in process and the rule of law.

How then can an employer trust you to uphold such legislation in the workplace?

I think people get totally swept up in this stuff in terms of their visible social media profiles and forget that many years down the line it could have profound implications (or in some cases more immediate ones) wrt employment.

I note that there's a lot of very young people posting on the CA page......

Have stupidly gone onto the FB page again.

How could these people actually see what is wrong with hospital staff working in a really pressured environment, with very sick children, not wanting to be "badgered" for information about one child to use in a court case?

NHS administrators are also incredibly overworked and spend their life firefighting and do not have hours and hours to spend printing out and photocopying one patients' notes. That's why there is a process for applying to see them and why there is an administrative charge.

I should stop reading that page, but it's like a car crash - you don't want to look, you know that it is wrong to look, you know that you are seeing something you shouldn't see - and yet, you find yourself looking.

My respect and thoughts are with parents like our @lonelymummyof1 this afternoon who are dealing with this awful experience and pain with grace and dignity Flowers

Just seen the comments about the Queen.

Don't they realise the UK is a democracy- even she is not above the rule of law FFS....

redshoeblueshoe · 12/07/2017 14:33

Yes, Bore, I have and have spoken to a very nice person on the phone.

Today 14:20 Imaweeble

My eyes are starting to ache from rolling them so much at the CA page! The people commenting really do seem to be a bunch of uneducated buffoons...

Nailed it.

Lightlovelife · 12/07/2017 14:37

muckypup I think the judgement is tomorrow.

tinhead · 12/07/2017 14:38

I have reported to NHS Lothian Bore

Tempted to send her a message to tell her what I've done! Might make her think twice and warn others.

nina2b · 12/07/2017 14:38

Sir Branston of Pickle! Excellent. You guys are brilliant.

redshoeblueshoe · 12/07/2017 14:38

mucky they are in court tomorrow, but the Judge wanted all the evidence by today

ShatnersWig · 12/07/2017 14:39

Don't tip anyone off you've reported them. Allow them to continue so it really proves the point that it's not just one off the cuff thoughtless remark

muckypup73 · 12/07/2017 14:39

redshoeblueshoe, ah ok thank you.

tinhead · 12/07/2017 14:40

Lightlovelife · 12/07/2017 14:48

I was going to ask if there were any recent pictures of Charlie, but have just seen the picture of the woman who came with the pastor kissing his head.Sad

Trampire · 12/07/2017 14:51

Eek Shatners that's actually hard to read!

muckypup73 · 12/07/2017 14:52

ShatnersWig, I wonder how many them 257 were genuine? lol

reallyanotherone · 12/07/2017 14:52

Have just read on the CA FB page a post by a woman who said 'Yesterday there was a little boy on here who has no brain, but is at school, counting and everything'

This is the one i referred to earlier. Wee boy had spina bifida, on scans it looked like he had no brain, it was fluid, once removed the brain decompressed..

The post was removed because for some reason ca seems to think the mother is an attention seeking, money grabbing arse who shouldn't contaminate charlie's page.

ChattyLion · 12/07/2017 14:52

Agree with you about not tipping off those people advocating violence etc against GOSH and their lawyers on forums- let their employers deal with it rather than you take the brunt.
A fuller picture of online activity gives less wriggle room for denial afterwards too.

Nicknacky · 12/07/2017 14:52

Are her comments gone now?

rabbitnothare · 12/07/2017 14:54

ShatnersWig I really am not sure that tops the Queen being a slag? Possibly Brew
