Seclusion abuses. A small completely calm learning-disabled girl walked into ‘hospital’ seclusion for nearly four hours complete with alarm bells on entry and exit so that staff could apparently take breaks. My immediate verbal complaint saw my immediate cynically contrived suspension. Further similar complaints saw two internal 'inquiries' and the eventual "thanks" a year later (having remained suspended) of the Trust CEO following the second inquiry or ‘Seclusion Review’.."for bringing the matter of seclusion to my attention". I was then immediately fired for legitimately accessing the clinical file of one seclusion victim two years previously. I was then referred to the NMC with grossly misleading descriptors of my previous Trust practices during my ten month employment. The NMC declared in February 2014 that I had complained without the severely LD abuse victims consent and moreover had written the complaint on my home computer and not Trust equipment although as it was I had actually used Trust equipment for the first inquiry not that the type of allegation forms a reasonable charge if you’re suspended and haven’t got access. Two months after the NMCs formally declared findings and its resulting ongoing sanction of a three years total of severely restrictive practice-conditions and therefore  hyper-scrutiny (I must study ‘safeguarding’ and "raising and escalating concerns” with evidence and regular supervisions). However, two months after the NMC findings (July 2014) the CQC, following my relentless complaints to their national complaints board finally visited and slated the hospital for its safeguarding failures to protect service users from seclusion malpractices ..effectively confirming my complaints throughout which were originally brushed over by the CQC at the time in 2012. I then formally complained against the NMC who had also declared the prosecution Trusts managers as 'open and transparent' (but who had demonstrably lied under NMC oath) and that my complaints about Trust abuses represented a ‘blanket failure to avoid following Trust policies and procedures’ .. clearly untrue given two original 2011 internal hospital inquiries including a face to face meeting with the Trusts CEO in August 2011, the 2012 referral to Safeguarding, CQC and the police and Safeguardings subsequent declaration of ‘nothing found’ …then my continuing complaints to national CQC and finally the 2014 CQC slating of the Trust ..all following hundreds of pages of submissions over four years. My concern is that either an NHS Trust has fooled a professional regulator or the regulator has actively colluded with a rogue NHS Trust. Either way a grave individual injustice and more importantly a major disservice has been enacted against very vulnerable learning disabled people. The post-Winterbourne safeguarding effect is clearly not the exclusive result of media-compelling tattooed thugs.
