Hi, I work for a small charity in management role. No HR function.
Had a v difficult issue with a p/t member of staff. We are an organisation who works with children and have had to raise several safeguarding issues we have just been made aware of with the LADO.
Staff member now suspended and doesn't know why.
My boss called a meeting of a subgroup, which included this staff member's peers and basically told everybody all the ins and outs of the complaints some of which relate to his home life not anything he's done at work.
I've been saying from the start we need HR expertise on this. He keeps saying it's fine to discuss it this way. He's also given the full details of the complaint to someone outside of our organisation.
I have written my account of what happened so there is a clear record of timeline, contact with LADO etc. Asked boss where this could be saved confidentially and he said it's fine to be put on shared drive and has added it there.
I am deeply concerned over the lack of confidentiality on what is a very serious issue but CEO keeps talking down to me telling me it's all fine. Trustees think he's wonderful and trust that he is dealing with it well. I don't think they will listen to me. What to do?
