This is the reason women don't report sexual harassment at work. They end up with no career.

A journalist gave CITB a chance to respond to his questions. Would you feel safe, as a woman, working for CITB after reading this? #sexualharassment #assault #shame #horror

Must be a regular … 🤣 😂

Thank you @ScrapCITB for resharing my post

The worst bit is - there was no accountability for their behaviour after I reported.

That was horribly unfair. I am so sorry that they victimised you when you had already suffered because of that hideous man.

For anyone who may be interested, a couple of years ago I became involved in a legal dispute with the law firm Brabners (who at that time represented them on some matters). As a result of that dispute, I was introduced to journalist @TomLatchem, who explained that there appeared to be attempts to silence victims in relation to Sullivan’s interests. Somehow, I found myself drawn into it. A lot has happened between then and now: court appearances, extensive correspondence, and a number of people putting their necks on the line to make sure this programme happened. Do I believe the victims I have spoken to? Yes, absolutely. I also independently verified many of the details they shared with me. One thing I did not manage to do, which still frustrates me, was track down his former driver. A number of survivors described the same pattern: the driver would stop the car in a layby, offer the victim a cigarette, and give them a moment to compose themselves. From what they described, he appeared to know what was going on and, in those moments, showed them some compassion.

Such a beautiful couple ❤️ It makes me so angry what you have been put through and the stress you have had to endure.

Been a while since I had a page lead in a UK national newspaper - always gives a little buzz - and pleased it is to finally start exposing the David Sullivan scandal. Plenty more to be said, especially about the failed care home for vulnerable teenage girls that he funded. #WHUFC

Thank you, Deena Pagano for the quote;

@kierstarmer, Can you please explain to me why you have ignored my emails to talk about my daughter Rhiannons murder,by an ILLEGAL, But now meeting Henry Nowaks family following his tragic death? Both white British people, oh I know your corrupt police assisted his death!

Good morning from NE Scotland #deer #Bambi #wildlife #Scotland

SHOCKING: Dr. Aseem Malhotra testifies about MASSIVE truth bombs on mRNA vaccine harms, scientific corruption, and the betrayal of public trust. “I have called for a MORATORIUM on these UNSAFE and DEFECTIVE products…there is SERIOUS HARM…” THIS IS WHAT BRAVERY LOOKS LIKE…

So sorry you even went through this in the first instance, but you are a Warrior for not backing down and staying silent. Too many women stay silent, now is the time to tell your stories out loud!! They call us the weaker sex, they have no idea!🥰

SHE REPORTED RAPE AT WORK Jan Cruickshank (@LittleJanhere) came to me this week with her story and a file of evidence she has spent years building. What she went through is one of the most shocking workplace cover-ups I have come across. Jan worked as an apprenticeships officer at the Construction Industry Training Board @CITB_UK. Shortly after she started, a male colleague began subjecting her to sexual harassment that lasted over three years. Explicit texts. Exposing himself to her at a hotel. Sending her an indecent photograph. A phone call during which he committed a sexual act while she was on the line. In March 2015, at a conference in a Highland hotel, he came to her room and raped her. Jan reported him. CITB believed his version instead. He claimed they had been having a consensual affair for three years and that Jan was hitting back because he had ended it. He was put on gardening leave for one week. Then he came back. He was also allowed to continue visiting schools while the investigation was ongoing. CITB then launched a campaign to remove Jan from the business entirely. Two separate internal whistleblowers later confirmed this was deliberate. CITB's own legal team had calculated that a trial would cost them seriously. So they chose to destroy her credibility instead. An HR investigation was initiated with the outcome already decided before it concluded. Jan was eventually sacked. The stated reason was misuse of company time by having an affair. Her criminal case was dropped after @PoliceScotland were told by CITB that the relationship had been consensual. That lie closed the case. The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority looked at the evidence independently and reached a completely different conclusion. They awarded Jan compensation as a victim of serious sexual assault. Jan took CITB to an employment tribunal. They offered her 15k pounds. She refused. She eventually settled for 60k pounds and refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement. She said there was never any way she was going to agree to be gagged. In November 2024, SNP MP Seamus Logan @SeamusLoganMP raised her case in the @HouseofCommons. He told Parliament that Jan had been pressured into a settlement far below what she was owed and that the man she accused was never held to account. CITB responded with one line saying the matter was settled and they had nothing further to add.. A tribunal ruling recently reported as thrown out with no prospect of success has since been overturned. That decision has not yet reached the press. Jan is now represented by well know to some of us John Robertson, the same investigator who stood beside Glenn Cottingham Smith before his death and who is currently fighting for my friend John Galajsza in his case against Barclays. Jan asked herself one question: "How did a woman who reported sexual misconduct at work end up spending the next decade fighting to defend her own reputation and reclaim a life that was stolen from her." She was not broken. She documented everything. She refused the gag. She is still standing. If this story made your stomach turn, share it. Jan has been fighting this alone for ten years. The least we can do is make sure the right people see it. If you believe cover-ups like this should have consequences, put this in front of your network. One share might reach the person who finally makes the difference. Let's help her to be heard! Sources: @Daily_Record Dec 2018 | @CNplus Nov 2024 | @BylineTimes Aug 2024

I completely agree Jan, why should someones inappropriate behavior drive you out of a job you love. The management failed you at every turn. They should have intervened and you should have been protected.
