It's in The Times. With this and Wi Spa I feel like the house of cards is falling...

That's brilliant news Smile

Chrysanthemum5 · 04/09/2021 18:15

Excellent news!

shesellsseacats · 04/09/2021 18:16

Excellent news.

Really glad for Sonia Appelby, it can't have been easy to have her reputation smeared in this way, she comes across as a woman of deep integrity.

I hope the review into GIDS is taking note!

Sophoclesthefox · 04/09/2021 18:18

This is great news. It’s an absolute fundamental that whistleblowers should never be subject to detriment because of it. Well done Sonia!

GreyhoundG1rl · 04/09/2021 18:19

Fantastic.o

GreyhoundG1rl · 04/09/2021 18:19

Fantastic!

EmbarrassingAdmissions · 04/09/2021 18:20

I'm a relentless pessimist but this is good news for Sonia Appleby. I hope that these findings point the way to some sense of sanity with respect to GIDS.

AnyOldPrion · 04/09/2021 18:22

That’s great. Thank you for the share token.

NonnyMouse1337 · 04/09/2021 18:26

So pleased to hear this! It must have been really difficult for her to be put in such a position. I hope this vindication will give her some small measure of comfort.

yourhairiswinterfire · 04/09/2021 18:27

Excellent news, well done Sonia!

GeorgiaMcGraw · 04/09/2021 18:29

Woo! Go Sonia, go!

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 04/09/2021 18:30

Surely this is a bad look for the Tavistock, firstly that she had to whistleblow about safeguarding failures, and secondly that they tried to hide this by sidelining her...

MaudTheInvincible · 04/09/2021 18:30

Glad to read this. Well done Sonia Appleby!

LizzieSiddal · 04/09/2021 18:31

Such fantastic news!

I’m disappointed that in The Times article, Polly Carmichael is not mentioned, I wonder if she is in the ruling? Her evidence to the tribunal was quite bizarre.

Clymene · 04/09/2021 18:33

Well done Sonia although what an awful and stressful time she has had.

How any parents can send their children to the Tavistock now I don't know. Any organisation that works with children should prioritise safeguarding. If it doesn't, quite simply, it can't keep children safe.

Timefortea4 · 04/09/2021 18:33

Great news but the damages seem very low considering what Sonia has been through.

WhereAreWeNow · 04/09/2021 18:35

Great news. Well done to Sonia. Whistle blowing is very brave.

Igmum · 04/09/2021 18:35

Great news. I hope this leads to substantial changes in GIDS. Well done Sonia

1Endeavour2 · 04/09/2021 18:35

Wonderful news

MaudTheInvincible · 04/09/2021 18:35

No, it's not Blush. Don't think it's up yet.

Whatwouldscullydo · 04/09/2021 18:38

Great news. We'll done to Sonia for seeing this through. It cannot have been easy.

ArabellaScott · 04/09/2021 18:39

Bloody brilliant.

Well done, Sonia. Flowers

DancesWithTortoises · 04/09/2021 18:40

Hurrah!

WhoNeedsaManOfTheWorld · 04/09/2021 18:41

Well deserved
