17 yr old dismissed despite not being at fault

It's as if SD works for MI5! Is this an "I could tell you but I'd have to kill you" situation?

how many people in the UK hold this qualification ?

oh for goodness put up or shut up.

What qualification has your Step daughter got? Just telling us that would mean you wouldn't be identifying her.

it is starting to sound like DSD has been sleeping with the boss - it's the only thing that makes sense - anything that requires qualification takes time and not much if she's 16; i can only suspect it's more personal and with the accusation of lewd... posting pics of the boss' w*lly????? it would help if the OP clarified if the YP was entirely non "emotionally" involved

We are in possession of the facts. It has emerged that other members of staff are embroiled in other aspects of this and at least one has been to the police about it and it seems likely that there will be legal action being taken.

It a matter of FACT that without DSD and the other lad they will be unable to fulfil a legal contract until they can recruit and train more staff, which obviously isn't impossible but could take months and will be very expensive. It's concievable that the combination of legal costs and replacing staff may be more than they can afford.

And no Duchy, we haven't done any more than write a polite letter to the man in charge saying that we were shocked that the decision to dismiss was made prior to any investigation, considering DSD was the victim of the prank and there were no prior incidents on her record, and please could the situation be investigated fully before a final decision is made. We haven't shouted, made threats, implied that we will take it any further.

In fact we're actually trying to get some of them to consider the consequences if the whole operation folds.

Unfortunately the one holding most cards is also a key member of the team, again not irreplaceable but who's absence, given that no-one else there is qualified in his specialism will prevent them from offering a key service that generates most of their income.a

I genuinely wish I could share all the details, I think there would be a lot more understanding from you all if I were able to. But given the way things are moving I think I better not.

I would be very careful of what you are being told is facts and what actually are the facts. The person who can tell you the facts is your DSD ex Manager if I am reading that correctly. What you hear from other members of staff may very well just be gossip so please bear that in mind, obviously I don't know the full story.

I don't understand how an employee taking legal action for unfair dismissal is intertwined with your DSD and the other lad for an obscene graphic that your DSD displayed somewhere without allegedly her knowledge for which she and the lad were sacked for but not this other employee.

You also say the organisation were at fault for her doing more hours than allowed as they didn't recruit enough staff to cover all supervisory roles yet your DSD is not a supervisor, not relevant at all surely?

You also state that there was a bad atmosphere in the workplace with staff resenting your DSD yet then state that she was popular with a lot of staff

Why has a member of staff gone to the police? And why would legal action be taken? Not because your DSD displayed an obscene graphic surely

I also don't think the sacking of your DSD is going to bring the company to it's knees as much as you seem to think it will. The role she did part time can be covered quite easily using the full time qualified staff and their non legal work can be covered by others quite easily I should imagine

And I also don't understand when you say 'In fact we are trying to get some of them to consider the consequences if the whole operation folds' why would it? On the basis of the sacking of a part time 17 year old for not adhering to office policy on displaying obscene images

You have also mentioned three times I think that your DSD's Manager does not have the qualification but I am guessing he does not need it in his role, you seem to be making a bit of a point with this. In my industry lots of people myself included have a qualification that my Manager does not purely because I need it for my role and my Manager does not need it for theirs.

Some of the points you have made don't add up

Much of it doesn't add up, to be honest.

I doubt very much if the girl's profession/qualification is really the "classified information" it's being made out to be. I suspect this thread might be a bit of an attention-seeking exercise.

For goodness sake, a couple of teens got caught playing a prank at work and one (now both) of them got the sack. I suspect 95% of the rest of it is utter waffle, tbh.

Do not take the OP's DSD's ex-company's clients' dire straights in vain. 10,000 more people could be without an urn for a considerable period don't you know.

It is not your place to assess what may or may not be prudent to post in regard to this. You are not in possession of sufficient information to make that call.

To be fair, stating the name of the qualification is not going to identify the person involved in any way. I work in education and training and there are so many variations on a theme that it couldn't possibly happen.
