Should this be reported?

What's the actual 'job' is it an office environment or [for example] a care home?

Are you 100% sure that she hasn't been taken on the payroll for some reason?

Its an office environment.

I can not see the DD being on the payroll. She can not actually function very well, and relies on an enormous amount of care and attention.


Jamespir, I am not looking for advice on how to get her 'taken', but surely looking purely from a health and saftey aspect, this is not an acceptable situation for either the DD or the department.

They will do everything they can to help the father and the disabled daughter, they will not take the daughter away from her father, maybe the SS could sort some respite day care for her whilst the father works.

James, do not make the OP or her friend feel quilty for wanting to speak to someone about this, I certainly would not care for one of my colleagues children whilst I'm at work, I'm at work to work, not to provide a carers role.

why should anyone feel guilty if it was your mate and she wasnt disabled and he said could you just keep your on her while i go into a meeting for 5 hours youd probably say yeah ok

but it seems becasue she's disabled its a totaly different story

and whos to judge that you or your "freind" the managment have obviously thought about this before accepting to allow your "freinds" colleauge to do this

if your "freind" has a problem tell him to speak to management

No-one should take their children into the workplace...end of, not an environment I would take my children ever, and certainly not a disabled person who requires caring for, as I stated in my previous post, no-one wants the daughter taken away from the father, but for the daughter to have suitable safe place in which she can be cared by professionals on a daily basis.

System

I don't understand why she is still being taken in to work when he has taken time off?

I think you are missing the point entirely.

This child/young adult is not:
Inducted
Trained
Old enough to BE at work for a full day
Responsible
Insured

Personally, I'd ask the advice of the HSE on this one.

but the company management have agreed for the child to go there so they know what there doing

they wouldnt need to be trained or wahtever

This is a serious issue with regard to the safety of a vulnerable adult - I can't believe that people are even thinking that it's ok in any way. Have the staff been CRB checked?

Vulnerable adults need to be protected, end of really. You don't know who the child could be interacting with daily. Are OP's careworkers trained in Child Protection? What about toilet facilities, can the DD go by herself? Does she provide her own lunch or are coworkers expected to feed her everyday? (which would add up, £s here and there)

This is ridiculous, it's not as if the DD is a toddler in a child care facility in work, she's being left to her own devices for 8 hours a day while her father...takes leave? If he's off work why isn't he staying at home looking fter his daughter?

Thats the point, what the management are allowing is totally wrong.

Carers have to be CRB checked to work with vunerable adults.

I'm pleased to see the last few posters also think it is very wrong for this girl to be left in the workplace whilst her father is on leave...it could be classed as neglect if the father is at home, and he has left his severely disabled daughter in the care of untrained people.
