Dear Sir or Madam,
RE: Disclosure of your Reed Managed Services Contract
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/co...
Further the disclosure of the above contract, which I understand is
let by yourselves as the principal Council agreeing it.
Can you please provide an electronic copy of any information that
explains how the following formulation of words:
"is found to be disruptive to other members of staff"
contained in this Contract and more fully quoted below.
"If, for any reason, Temporary Workers supplied via the Managing
Agent, are found by the Council, to be unsuitable or incapable of
carrying out the work required, or, is found to be disruptive to
other members of staff, the Managing Agent will be notified to
terminate the placement with immediate effect and supply a suitable
replacement within 24 hours or at a time agreed with the
Originating Officer."
is:
1) Compatible with your own Equal Opportunities policies
2) Compatible with the Equal Opportunity policies set out between
yourselves and Reed Managed Services Contract
and what criteria do such 'Temporary Workers' have to meet to be
defined as: "disruptive to other members of staff"
Please provide any information held by yourselves that explains, in
the context of this Contract, what is meant by the word:
"disruptive"
under employment laws and good practice and how the statutory
requirement that a Temporary Worker not be treated less favourably
than any other worker, such as permanent staff, on
anti-discrimination grounds such as age, religion, race, sex, being
a carer etc can achieved should a Permanent employee versus a
Temporary Worker be considered "disruptive".
Please provide a copy of your policies that cover the issues of
Permanent employees being considered "disruptive" to other members
of staff.
Please advise how I may raise a Complaint with yourselves over the
opinion I have that the above formulation of words is incompatible
with various Equality and Human Rights legislation, as mentioned
on: http://www.equalityhumanrights.com
I understand the Contract is due for renewal, please advise how a
Complaint can be lodged about renewal of such a Contract, which
appears to me to be against anti-discrimination principles.
Yours faithfully,
E Blair
