I'm rather surprised that you've revealed this information on this forum. Surely you have a duty of confidentiality which I'm sure you have breached on this forum.

I don't doubt that. That's why I said that the OP has no legitimate grounds to complain about the charity in relation to governance.

Incidentally, its you that's identified yourself on here, not the OP, who has been rather more subtle about it all.

I am aware that I have only 1 side of the story. I was only advising the OP that he had no formal grounds to complain to the CC or anybody else. So his only option for expressing the treatment he feels is unfair is on public fora. Nothing wrong with that.

(You said your colleague had left in November "to concentrate on her baby" but they're still listed.....?)

I would urge every one not to deal with a charity who reveals personal information on a forum , avoids answering questions why they have done this, and only states it's in the animals interest.
How exactly is it in the animals interest to reveal facts of a case .
Shocking behaviour from this " charity"

Well here we are again, to my mind if you have broken the terms of the contract the charity concerned they quite within their rights to act and make shure the dog is safe. What's the problem?

Two new posters from the charity, neither of whom can spell..
Slightly obvious..

I've no idea who the people involved are. Nobody has been identified as far as I can see.

Here's the question- nobody named the charity or the facts of the case which it appears to me are sensitive . So why have you?

To the OP: As you will probably find complaining to the Charity Commission is often a complete waste of time charities are not really regulated because this bunch of overpaid wasters who run this particular QUANGO have only self interest at heart and don't like anything that causes them to have to actually do anything. They like us to think that charity is all warm hearted and there would be no one likely to abuse this trust... would there, some charities are even too big for them to be regulated by them as they would get the lawyers out and stop any investigation of them.

BTW I am a chairman of a fairly large charity (£2.5m turn over) and I wish there was a more effective organisation responsible for the regulation of what is a very big business sector now, charity is not what it was when I started volunteering for charities some 35 years ago. I have even chaired a charity that was once supported with some money by this very site.

I think the actions of the representatives of the charity writing on this board are ill thought out at best, maybe should have kept it in private messages only if you wrote anything at all. What it has done is shown why the OP was reluctant to complain to you, about you.

well - on first reading the rather VAGUE query by the OP I did initially feel some concern for the charity concerned, believing that possibly the OP simply had a gripe about the charity which was unfounded.

I therefore gave what I perceived to be some fairly innocuous information about Charity trustees and their roles.

I now feel entirely behind the OP 100% - I have NOT encouraged people to try and "destroy" the good name of a charity - indeed until the "charity" posted - I had NO idea what the furore was about.

The comments left on this forum FROM representatives of this Charity tell me MUCH more about them and their actions than ANYTHING the OP posted

and the impression the representatives of the charity have left me with is one of extremely poor management and even poorer judgment.

Bad show Charity - now we ALL know what this is about - which is something YOU have created
