Ombudsman Services. Harvey Weinstein. The Regulation of Markets. Whistleblowing Policies. (680)

To the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Secretary / Chair of Ombudsman Services / Chair of The Ombudsman Association.

For Clarity - Attempt 680.

680. Ombudsman Services. Harvey Weinstein. The Regulation of Markets. Whistleblowing Policies.

Dear Mr Clark, Lord Tim Clement Jones and The Rev Shand Smith.

Whistleblower, Rose McGowan, a woman of enormous courage, has shown what the un-regulated Hollywood film market is capable of - a stranglehold on fear and power by those at the top with its inevitable violent and criminal consequences on those they expect to be beneath them..

Q. Lord Tim Clement Jones, why doesn't your illiberal and un-democratic company have a fully functioning whistleblower policy that protects your workforce and recognises their human right to freedom of expression?

Ross Langmead, has said,

"One of the best ways to love God is to defend the voiceless."

( Professor of Missiology, Whitely College, Parkville, Australia)

We believe you could quite easily substitute, "Humanity" for God without losing the message's power.

People in positions of power appear to have no compunction when taking the political decision to deny others their right to a voice.

Q. Rev Shand Smith, as Chair of The Ombudsman Association, why do you preside over an organisation that has removed the right of freedom of expression for all its workforce by scrapping the requirement for member schemes to have a Whistleblowing Policy?

This undemocratic and retrogressive step was taken by The Ombudsman Association's Board pre-Brexit. Heaven only knows what is in store for workers and consumers post-Brexit.

Q. Mr Clark, how can consumers trust private redress schemes that deny their workers the right to freedom of expression and what is it these schemes are so successfully sweeping under the carpet?

As Resaners, we believe a public inquiry into the RICS, its failure to regulate its Members and (Un)Regulated Firms, its appointed company, Ombudsman Services:Property, the role of Ombudsmen in determining what they call, "civil justice" and the plight of countless victims of illogical Final Decisions is now most urgently needed.

Yours sincerely,

Steve Gilbert - Workstock Number - 510458.
