Mervelee Myers Review the ET

Review of the Employment Tribunals – A Personal Perspectives by: Ms M.I.Myers. Written by: Mervelee Myers for Statistical Purposes – 26th December 2017 – 15th January 2018.

How the Voiceless Vulnerable are the Victims of the Employment Tribunal Laws and Employment Tribunal Act 1996

Open to the Public

I am hereby writing this review of the Employment Tribunals resulting from the miscarriages of justice I experienced on two occasions by the Employment Tribunal Services. This resulted in me becoming part of Dr Maria Hudson 2012 Research Paper Ref: 01/12. Recommendation made to ACAS: research@acas.org.uk & www.acas.org.uk/researchpapers.

I am once more the focus of attention at https://www.gov.uk/employment-tribunal-decisions/ms-m-myers-v-london-early-years-foundation-2300047-2016. Please feel free to make use of the information, I have compiled to earn my keep after I was stripped of my dignity.

My case is similar to many of those covered in the media, print and online. Despite contacting the Daily Express: expressletters@express.co.uk, sharing some of my experiences as part of the Mental Health CRUSADE, I am/was not given a voice.

Making the Most of my Opportunities

I arrived in the UK from Jamaica in June 1992 to settle. This was after first coming here for a holiday, on a six months visa prior to that in 1991. During my visit, everyone was telling me to breach the terms and conditions of the Immigration Laws and overstay my visit. However, knowing me best with my dispositions, I refuse to take any such advice. My personal dispositions as a sufferer of (1.) Chronic Anxiety, due to the Childhood Traumas I experienced throughout my transitional developments from puberty into adulthood, meant I would not be able to cope – (Special Educational Needs and Disability Discrimination Act 2001). This was brought closer to home one morning, when there was an alarm at the Early Morning Cleaning Job. I got the job to help tide me over and make a few bobs to go back home. There was utter panic and chaos, with mostly everyone ducking, diving and running for cover.

All it took was the mention that the Immigration Authority are due to visit. I was never in trouble with the law before in my country, Jamaica. However I was reported at the Police Station for a misdemeanour, hitting my son’s Father with a rock stone. I was pregnant with my second son at the time. I am positive, now that it was my hormones dictating how I deal with certain issues (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy – Counselling www.slam-iapt.nhs.uk/southwark). I was the ripe old age of twenty at this time and coping with issues to do with, disabilities, sickness, death, poverty and other challenges like having my first child (2.) diagnosed with multiple disabilities, as being deaf and dumb – sen@southwark.gov.uk. However, knowledge is power and I am going to now admit, that my actions were due to the state of my mind – www.gov.uk/government/publication.

The adversities and challenges I faced after my dad was struck down with (3.) Parkinson’s disease at an early age. Just as I was reaching the transitional development of (4.) puberty had taken their tolls on me, and changed my life forever. Since living in the UK, I have heard stories about detainee’s experiences. I was questioned by Immigration Officers when I received a person in the UK. I was also present at my friend’s house, when the Immigration Officers arrived and she was detained. Luckily for me, I had just received my Leave of Stay Documents (British Nationality Act 1981) to remain in the UK and had taken them with me to photocopy. Showing that I have always been keeping my Defensive Practice from as far back as, I can recall.

Defensive Practice is the name, I identify from my studies with the Open University. But it can be linked to my (5.) disabilities of Physical and Mental Health Conditions as there is a history of hoarders in my family. I can list some of the most common forms of Mental Health Conditions and diseases as part of my DNA. As well as the Progressive Health Conditions I inherited from both sides of my family. They include the following that I was diagnosed with later in life. Chronic Anxiety, Arthritis, and Diabetes. I have had counselling for the Mental Health Conditions after recommendations from the Health Professionals to seek Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. To find out why I react to certain situations, the way I do. I have discovered that I have Dyslexic Traits and Atypical Parkinsonism, which are self-diagnosis. Therefore my life is no longer such a mystery to me now. I am more empowered to be in control of, and manage my disabilities.

The Equality Act 2010 & my Defensive Practice

The Equality Act 2010 states that a person has a disability if she has a physical or mental impairment, which has a substantial and long term adverse effect on her ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. The Act further states that there is no need for me to establish a medically diagnosed cause for the impairment. What is important to consider is the effect of the impairment, not the cause. The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 & 2005. (Refer to Judge Elliott’s Case Management Court Order of 8th June 2016)

Although Provision, Criterion or Practice is not defined by the Act, it should be construed widely so as to include, for example any formal or informal policies, rules, practices, arrangements or qualifications including one-off decisions and actions. Contract: London Early Years Foundation Statement of Contract of Employment (Issued in accordance with the Employment Rights Act 1996). (Refer to Open Letters & Grievances to LEYF and VOICE)

Therefore it should be taken into account that the Equality Act states “Direct discrimination is unlawful, no matter what the employer’s motive or intention, regardless of whether the less unfavourable treatment of the worker is conscious or unconscious”. (See ET Judgement posted online August 2017)

The Act states that “if an employer’s agent or employee (such as an OH adviser, or HR Officer) knows in that capacity, of a worker’s disability, the employer will not usually be able to claim that they did not know of the disability, and that they cannot therefore have subjected a disabled person to discrimination arising from disability”. (Refer to Medical Suspension & Dr Crawford Medical Reports)

“Therefore where information about disabled people may come through different channels, employers need to ensure there is a means – suitably confidential and subject to the disabled person’s consent – for bringing that information together to make it easier for the employer to fulfil their duties under the Act”. (Why did the Respondent refuse me assess to my FILE?

The Act says “Discrimination against a disabled person occurs when an employer fails to comply with a duty to make reasonable adjustments imposed on them”. (See ET Judgement posted online August 2017)

My Old Fashioned Values & Beliefs

When my friend was detained it was left for me, to find her other friends to come to her assistance. Suffice it to say we have fallen out on a few occasions, and made up. But the last time we fall out, I was experiencing depression, brought on by the actions of LEYF, my employers in 2011. I was the only LEYF employee, shortlisted for the position of Lead Early Years Practitioner, but I did not get the job. I just went into a meltdown, like I always do when these things happen (Breach of Contract & Discrimination on the grounds of Racism, Ageism, Beliefs and Disabilities). But because I had made the commitments to my friends, I didn’t want to break my promise. But what she done was the ultimate betrayal and the straw that broke the camel’s back. She gave my phone number to a bloke, pretending to be me. I have not spoken to her since November 2011 and that’s just another reminder of the deceits of LEYF.

Because of the way I was treated after coming back from burying my Mother and transferring to BIB, HOC and New Cross, I have not yet grieved for my mum. However, most of my angst are documented on https://.facebook.com/pulblic/Mervelee-Myers  as the Daily Express Columnist states “Tech Don’t Lie” and we will find out why in due course. I have been dealing with my share of betrayals from I arrived in the UK, and taken everything in my strides. I discovered, I was only being used as convenience by my ex-husband and others. Some obviously take my kindness for weakness and my vulnerability as the cue to take advantage of me.

I experienced (6.) domestic violence and had to get the Police involved, when I was locked out of my husband’s home. The home I shared with him, yet he refused to make sure I was afforded any rights as his wife – Sex Discrimination Act 1975, Safeguarding Vulnerable Group Act 2006. The final straw came when I was beaten up one evening after work, just after returning from holidays. If my sister-in-law wasn’t present, I would have probably gotten seriously hurt or killed. For no other reasons, than I was defending my rights not to be abused. I had to run to the Police station in the pouring rain, for rescue. Brixton Police Station 867 Brixton Road, London SW9 7DD. Crime Number 1239892/0013, reported on 8.9.2000. My son-in-law came to my rescue, taking me from the Police station to his home.

I made the decision, I would not be going back to my husband’s home to live under any circumstances. I ended up in the Refuge Southwark Women’s Aid 16 Relf Road, Peckham, London SE15 (Registered Charity Number 271785) on the 14th September 2000. Despite been on the London Borough of Lambeth Housing Services list from the 8th June 1999, I was not considered much of a priority. That’s only one of the many reasons I don’t sit back and rely on handouts, or for GOD to do everything for me. I prefer to be in control of everything to do with providing for my basic needs. Despite what I was experiencing in my personal life, I managed to keep doing the two jobs. The Early Morning Cleaning, part time and Nursery Nurse, full time. I was the Room Leader for the Baby & Toddler’s Room at William Wilberforce, Lambeth Walk Day Nursery.

I was headhunted and got the job as soon as I finished studies at Lambeth College. I leave Lambeth College with a Student of the Year certificate and recommendations to attend university, based on my results. One of my former colleagues was a teenager, Joelle Lax, now manager of New Cross. I understand that Joelle Lax became one of the youngest managers at LEYF. Strangely enough I applied for a job with Westminster Children Society (WCS) back then and did not get the post in 2001. Joelle applied after and got the position and made a career for herself. However Joelle Lax was on the Disciplinary Panel that handed down the outcome of unprofessional, uncooperative, rude, intimidating, confrontational, aggressive and lacking empathy.

Despite speaking up for me that I am a professional, when they tried getting me out before I finished the Probationary at Fitzrovia, September 2009 to April 2010. (Contract Section 8 Probationary Period breached). I have been to a few places to work, spending six years at KINGS, before ending up at LEYF in 2009. I worked for Mapother House Day Nursery a workplace setting for Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust where I was destined to experience the discrimination that impacted on my life with such devastating consequences. From 2004, when I started studying with the Open University, I experienced discrimination. That’s why I am included in Dr Maria Hudson 2012 – Research Paper Ref: 01/12. The Experience of Discrimination on Multiple Grounds was recommended to ACAS: research@acas.org.uk  & www.acas.org.uk/researchpapers.

Resulting from my experiences with my ex-husband when I was (7.) physically and mentally abused, Victim Support was involved. The Police advised me to take actions against my ex, but I refused. I was assigned a Case Worker when I was in the Refuge. Despite the fact that I had registered with Lambeth Council from April 1999 to get out when my ex became abusive and threatening me, I was not considered suitable for Council Housing. I had confessed to my best friend before that I don’t think I could survive on my own. Because I lived and had a sheltered life, my upbringing did not prepare me for a living away from home. The fact I lived with my Chronic Anxiety, what I called my Parkinson’s disease, meant I always relied on others. I later discovered I have some (8.) Dyslexic Traits that are linked to my disabilities and DNA.

I have since identified that I have Atypical Parkinsonism, however I have managed to live a relatively healthy lifestyle since I studied at the OU and gained a Leve 2 Health & Social Care certificate. I lost my sense of smell in 2004 and all these can be linked to my disabilities. The same year I had an abnormal pap smear and having to go for annual checks instead of 5 yearly. I developed phobias from childhood. I will always be thankful for Southwark Women’s Aid Charity that took me under their care, when I reached rock bottom and was homeless. By December 2000, I secured my own home from Housing for Women – info@h4w.co.uk, Blue Star House, and 234-244 Stockwell Road, London SW9 9SP.

I was lucky, too that I got most of the furnishing for my home from the Charity Southwark Women’s Aid. However I moved into the flat with its four walls. I would have had to pay two rents otherwise, and I could not afford to be paying rent for both places. I was brought up to be frugal and value everything that I got. I have to thank God for the people whom, He provides to help me throughout my transitional journeys. That’s why I have to continue living my life as an example to the old fashioned values and beliefs by which I was raised. That’s why I am so devastated that I can experience discrimination in two workplaces. And the Employment Tribunal can be so negligent in presiding over the miscarriages of justice that ruined my life. They are refusing to right the wrongs so that I can move on with my life. This in breach of all the Rules of Law and abusing the powers of their authority with the contingent laws mentioned in the Equality Act 2010.

Adapting To Life In The UK

I was a witness at two weddings and attended another, for people who invited me to celebrate their special occasions. I would like it be known that I attended a wedding when the plots were put in place to dismiss me from the work I was so proud and passionate about. Without prejudice, I later learned that this was sanctioned at the top by the CEO June O’Sullivan. In November 2014, there was a letter of threats directed by myself and the chef, Gloria. The CEO, June O’Sullivan, Head of Children Services & Family Rashid Iqbal and Hilda Miller Area Operations Manager were copied in. This later became self-fulfilling prophecy, when both the chef and I were disciplined after allegations were made. It started with the wedding and because the chef refused to lie, she was set up by the manager Lynne Kelly and Caroline Quirke that she stole from the kitchen. Everything is documented in the BUNDLE.

Reasons I accepted Judge Martin rejections of my RACISM claims, but explained in writing why I did not agree. Whilst LEYF was perverting the course of justice at the ET Case, because Rashid Iqbal resigned. However he still attended to lie, but they refused to allow me to question Isabella Glen on the grounds she finished her employment. There was no mention of Isabella Glen in the judgement I received. So how come the ET made such a mistake? Not only that the Employment Appeal Tribunal at www.justice.gov.uk/tribunals/employment-appeals/ somehow think RACISM was part of the case? So how come I was advised to inform the EAT about my disabilities? Once again I have to say the way the Respondent LEYF and their representative operated during the time of the case to date is an indication of what is wrong at the top of every organisations and even Legal Entity.

The Employment Tribunal and Employment Appeal Tribunal is a classic example of what MP David Lammy Review of Racial Bias and BAME representation in the Criminal Justice System – 16th November 2016. Therefore I have to direct you to Dr Maria Hudson 2012 Research Paper Ref: 01/12. The Experience of Discrimination on Multiple Grounds because I was a participant.  My arguments throughout my ordeals at LEYF can be summed up by the Reviews on LEYF websites: Julia Elizabeth Gould -25th March 2016. Ingrid Curuvija Townsend – 29th August at 18:38. Jyoti Sharma – 12th March to be found in my email to Dilys Epton on 14th March 2015 about the discrimination at BIB.  If I did not have disabilities, why did Neil Best agreed to the Reasonable Adjustments from my grievances? All the evidence are to be found in the BUNBLES, so I don’t know how the 3 Judges could come to the unanimous decisions that they did after five months.

I meet some of the people who were going to play important roles in my life when I was a Cleaner, working with RCO Support Services LTD, 149-157 Kings Road, Brentwood Essex CM14 4 EG. I was based at MAFF and Victory House, government buildings, where I have to be Security Cleared. I last worked with the company in 1997 before leaving to go to college. When I was in the Refuge, I spend time at my friend’s home in Bermondsey. She cooked for me and helped me to care for my hair that I’d started growing natural again. It was at her home, the realisation came to me that I have long hair. Although I was told this fact by my sister-in-law, I have no memory of it, when it was long. I recall the story that I had long hair and it was cut short by the lady in whose care I was left.

My hair was cut off with the assumption that it was responsible for my (9.) lack of growth and development. I was gobsmacked and have the photos to prove my discovery. Photographs are important to me for a variety of reasons. Primarily they help me to know my history and to capture the Legacy for my future generations of my family. Hence the reasons for my social media footprints https://www.facebook.com/public/Mervelee-Myers. It so happened that I got my flat in Bermondsey. My friend advised me to order my bed, because I did not have any personal household possessions. In the meantime I improvised making my bed on the floor, until the one I ordered arrived. My next door neighbour, TESS, may God RIP her soul introduced herself and take me under her wings.

I gave her a spare set of keys to my home and that’s why I am so angry to this day, the way she was treated by Social Services and the authorities. She was left to die on her own, without any assistance, despite the times I tried getting help for her. I know she too experienced mental health issues as we developed that bond. Luckily for me, I developed (10.) resilience that empower me to always be applying the early intervention strategies that come to my rescue in times of needs. That’s’ why I am passionate about working with children and young people. I am an advocate of inclusion, who is breaking down barriers to deliver the Early Years Curriculum, as well as supporting others to empower themselves in implementing and promoting the British Values that I was brought up with, www.gov.uk/government/publications.

People have been kind to me, most of the time, but you have to look out for the haters. They will hate you for no reasons whatsoever. I qualified at Lambeth College after trying my hands at different work and studies to find out where I could fit in. When I completed the Care Assistant trainings, I went back to doing cleaning. I could not stomach what happened to me when I went to the Residential Care Home to do the practical. I put that down to my experiences at home, helping my mother to care for my dad and grandma. That’s why I am convinced after hearing about mama’s life from her best friend and my elder breda… that mama experienced Mental Health Conditions. Getting counselling from the Maudsley Hospital www.slam-iapt.nhs.uk/southwark, helped me to come to terms with everything that happened in my life from childhood.

I accessed the counselling on the advice of the recommendation of the Occupational Health Doctor. This was when I was sent on Medical Suspension to deny me of my basic rights as a vulnerable employee. An employee who experienced bereavements, months after saying my final goodbyes to my mother who suffered dementia and did not recognise me until the day I was leaving. That’s why I am getting involved with advocacy and is a Dementia Friend www.dementiafriends.org.uk. Because as an empowered educated woman, I was able to diagnose mum’s dementia, listening to my family talking about the changes in her behaviours. As is the norms for me, I went to the Occupational Health prepared with my answers to the questions ready. I do not always function well under pressures.

Doctor Laura Crawford advised me to get (11.) Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to find out why I react the way I do to certain situations. That’s why I am convince that mama experienced a number of Mental Health Conditions, which made her the sort of persons who she was. At one of my placements, Turney Special Needs School, Education Act 1981, during studies at Lambeth College. The teacher was impressed with me and my work as I was/is/am passionate about inclusion. However, I just could not take up the offer of applying for the job. Because I know that I would not be able to cope (12.) emotionally resulting from my childhood traumas – Children and Young People Act 2008.  I had done better than I expected, going back into studying. I was headhunted by the time I finished studying and went straight into working.

As a Room Leader, I mentor students on placements and liaise with other professionals. At times I see some of those peers from colleges and trainings, who I helped with completing their studies and they are doing so well. There are others, who I mentored on placements as the professional in charge and they too are doing well. There are others whom I supported throughout the time they studied at university and with other training providers, and they are doing well too. I supported them with writing reference, coaching them to go for interviews and they too are doing well.

I trained and mentored some in the workplaces, more recently at LEYF, when I edited their work for Leadership and Management trainings. When they are doing higher level studies to be in Leadership and Management. When they are doing the Apprenticeship or Students on placements. If you check LEYF websites, I can name some of my former colleagues who are now in Leadership and Management. However despite starting at (WCS now LEYF) with a Foundation Degree In Early Years, and completing Working Together For Children in 20110, my career and life have been destroyed. That’s why the ET needs to go back to the time when they presided over another miscarriages of justice.

Taking On Advocacy & Developing My Voice

I am part of Dr Maria Hudson research that support my arguments about how vulnerable employees are been let down by the Rules of Law on technicalities written in contracts employees sign. I was told by the Union Solicitor Arwen Makin, who tried tricking me into not appealing the Disciplinary Outcome that the discrimination was written in the contract. There was nothing to be done excepting to accept it and in no time it would be taken off my FILE. But it should not have been on my FILE in the first place, there was a plot to dismiss me. There were trumped up allegations and complaints that led to the Disciplinary labelling me as uncooperative, unprofessional, rude, intimidating, confrontational, aggressive and lacking empathy. Well this was already premeditated and coming from the allegations at Rumi’s wedding on the 4th January 2015.

Statements were sent to Dilys Epton, Senior HR, who tried trapping me to take out a Grievance when they could not prove I breach the contract. There were complaints and investigations, and I was prepared to give up my rights, but the discrimination only got worse. I refused to accept the discrimination for the second time and ended paying the price two times. When I was doing the Learning Support Assistant training, to get back into working as part of my Continuing Personal Professional Developmental Plan (CPPDP). This was a Career Change advice, recommended after writing four Open Letters.

The Open Letters were sent to the following: Prime Minister David Cameron, www.gov.uk.Number 10, from whom I got response in writing promptly. There was also contacts from the Department of Education, David Chapman, via the telephone messages and conversation in October 2015 – January 2016.  I later contacted PM Theresa May, in 2016 about my plight and got an automated response, but is not sure if there is any follow up? The union representing me www.voicetheunion.org.uk, threw me to the wolves, and abandoned me, the same way that UNISON did at Kings. They are still taking fee and trying to trick me to sign away my Membership rights to get representations. This was after the Union Rep Darren Mahon disappeared after accompanying me to the Disciplinary Hearing. He promised he could get me a package.

This goes to show how the unions operate unscrupulously and are on the sides of the employers and not the employees. The same happened to me with http://unison.org.uk at KINGS. I have correspondences to prove my arguments to the level of discrimination faced by vulnerable employees. That’s why I am not one who is fooled by UNISON with their Our Statement On Modern Slavery that I copied from the website. I can categorically say without a shadow of a doubt that I Mervelee Myers can prove that “As a trade union, UNISON is not concerned with working conditions and employment rights of its 1.3m members, working people in the UK and worker’s rights globally.

The solicitors Bates Wells & Braithwaite www.bwbllp.com is another example of the unprofessionalism in the Legal Justice System and Employment Law and the Employment Rights Act 1996. My arguments are backed up by MP David Lammy Review of the Racial Bias and BAME representation in the Criminal Justice System – 16th November 2016. There are employees out there experiencing discrimination, all account of the unions refusing to give us proper representations. As for ACAS, they are another story. The amount of messages that were left on my phones as they tried to curry favour for LEYF is laughable to say the least. There is a saying that money is the root of all evil. I have proven this to be a fact, where employers are concerned. I had a similar experience with Capsticks of Wimbledon that represented KINGS when I was left to represent myself against Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

Last but not least I sent a letter to the Daily Express expressletters@express.co.uk and  www.express.org.uk, because I supported the Mental Health CRUSADE. Sharing stories about my experiences of having Mental Health Conditions from childhood. But as I have come to realise, only celebrities are given a voice to share their stories in the tabloids and other media. This goes back to what I learned via studies, that those who equip themselves, and are aware of their rights, are more likely to reap the benefits from the systems in place to offer support. The more knowledgeable make sure they make use of all the available capitals to benefit themselves and their families. The others of us are treated less favourably than animals. We are made into voiceless vulnerable by the systems and establishment in place to protect us from discrimination.

I have gone the extra mile, empowering myself to become an advocate, breaking down barriers to get on with my life and offering support to others. Embarking on research, I discovered that whilst I was on Medical Suspension from LEYF, my stories were appearing in the media and I was not surprised. In April 2015, www.mqmentalhealth.org/Mental-Health/Mental-Illnesses is one such site that reference my story published on Social Media. Then on the 3.4.2015 I know more about Parkinson’s disease than most… was featured on www.parkinson.org.uk. My Personal Experiences of Parkinson’s Disease – updated 17.8.2017 https://plus.google.com/1000939131463790195264/post/YoJDPGvhGMG is at the website. My internet footprint can be found all over cyberspace.

That’s why when the opportunity was offered, I went back to volunteering with my tutor at http://stormempowerment.com/, STORM Family Centre. With the hope that I would be getting on the training programme run by HCT Group. To be doing mentoring and to be teaching young people and adults, for preparation into the workforce. Instead nothing much have changed since, others are making progress and I am even getting shunned. Because some are distancing themselves from me once they are on the road to success. Last but not least, those I mentored during the time I work at LEYF are the ones who are so ungrateful. However I do not blame anyone for the decisions and choices they make about how they live their life. Some have lost their moral compass because of manipulations of the psychopathic employers that have lost their ways and sight of the bigger picture.

But I know whatever is done in the dark will be revealed and come to light one day. Hence the reasons that Julia Elizabeth Gould, Ingrid Curuvija Townsend and Jyoti Sharma named in the ET bundles as Jyoti Bhardwaj, Deputy Manager of BIB, backed my story of discrimination at LEYF websites. Going back to KINGS they tie in with me raising concerns in my role as a Whistle blower to UNISON, KINGS HR Department, www.ofsted.gov.uk/parents, Southwark Council: sen@southwark.gov.uk and the Local Safeguarding Children’s Board to get training to complete my OU studies, as part of my CPPDP. However I can’t help but wonder why I am the one who have to face the discrimination, just because of my (9.) hidden disabilities. Leaving me open to be judged, misunderstood and penalised for the DNA I was born with and part of my multiple identities.

Due mostly to ignorant bigots, who are the quickest to judge before finding out the fact http://www.justice.gov.uk/tribunals/employment/claims/responding. I was always on the lookout for the ideal job, knowing that with my hidden disabilities, I have to be extra qualified and prepared to go the extra mile. I thought I found the ideal job with the NHS at Mapother House Day Nursery, Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. I worked as Preschool Leader at Family Support Network, but I believe that was more to prepare me for the future. I had an interview with an Ofsted Inspector when gaps were identified in my Professional Development Plan (PDP) as a Preschool Leader. I’d done the trainings as part of my PDP with the OU www.open.ac.uk/ceremonies.

I have not stopped doing researching, and updating my knowledge since. Everything can be accessed in cyberspace, about my qualifications and experiences and expertise.  I came face to face with putting the theories I had learned at Lambeth College into practice where I got a Student of the Year Award, at Family Support Network. I was the Preschool Leader, working to develop my PDP, which was to set me on the road to seeing my thirst for knowledge about Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) becoming visions of realities. I also got top marks for all of my modules including the Community Assignment. My tutors were persuading me to write about my experiences, because of my assignments. Which were about my personal experiences, growing up with transitional developmental childhood traumas from puberty. As well as the impacts on my first child who was misdiagnosed with multiple disabilities. I learned from helping my Mother as an informal carer from an early age.

Yes, I was curious yet passionate at the same time about extending my knowledge about Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND). Therefore it was no surprise when I was reading the Nursery World Magazine article about (13.) Autism Spectrum Disorder, and could relate to the behaviours of a child in the setting. I therefore set to work applying knowledge from studies at Lambeth College to share and support the child and his family. I was able to provide information to other professionals, involved with the child and family, working collaboratively from a shared perspective. I was only involved, working alongside other professionals supporting children with SEND when I done a placement at Turney Special School.

Importance of Research & my Defensive Practice

I was privileged to gain valuable experiences working at William Wilberforce, Lambeth Walk Day Nursery where I got the job via my tutor Yvonne Fletcher now Whittaker after I was headhunted. At Mapother House Day Nursery, Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, I found my calling to be an influencer, leader, role model and mentor. Matters came into perspectives and I began making plans now I thought I found my ideal job. In 2004, I enrolled with the OU accc-gen@open.ac.uk and started studies. The ups and downs at KINGS are documented, therefore I won’t go into too much details now. Excepting to say that my ideal job that I thought would be the place where I intend to retire from or return home… Turned out to be the worst nightmare, and where any hopes of going up the career ladder ended.

I would advise you to read Dr Maria Hudson 2012 Research Paper Ref: 01/12, the Experience of Discrimination on Multiple Grounds recommended to www.acas.org.uk/researchpapers, to understand why. I have to be making sure to find out what LEYF has done that is stopping me from getting a job since I was forced to resign with a nervous breakdown on the 27th September 2015. Days after attending Middlesex University and meeting the two professors from the Centre for Research in Early Childhood CREC in Birmingham – Amber Publications Chris Pascal and Tony Bertram on the 19th September 2015. My credibility about meeting the professors can be verified on https://www.linkedin.com on the 22nd September 2015. I also spoke to Mine Conkbayir mine.conkayir@westherts.ac.uk. This is the same date I was called to CO for a chat with Neil King.

But the meeting was to blackmail into writing an on the spot resignation. Years before I had the same experiences at KINGS that I have years later with even worse consequences from having the same experiences at another workplace. What with LEYF, the systems, establishments and the Employment Tribunals, making my life a living hell from the 23rd July 2014 to date.  But true to colour, and self-fulfilling prophecy, it’s a case of history repeating itself. Therefore let me go back to 2004 when I appeared in the South London Press: www.icsouthlondon.co.uk. Again 2006 I get a diagnosis for (14.) Chronic Anxiety, inclusive of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), at The Landor Road Surgery.

This was so I could prove that I have (15.) disabilities, in order that I can do my Health & Social Care Level 2 exam, sponsored by UNISON, with the OU. In 2006 I contacted UNISON and raised concerns about discrimination. I contacted KINGS HR Department after years of keeping a defensive practice and sharing concerns with the manager internally. Then when no actions were taken I contacted Southwark SEND Section for advice. I had contacted the Local Safeguarding Children’s Board about training as part of my PDP as a student with the OU, before. I have to adhere to British Ethical Guidelines as part of the contractual agreements, signed by the manager Glendalyn Aboayge. I followed up contacting www.ofsted..gov.uk in writing. And spoke to an Ofsted Inspector during the inspection about inappropriate practices, but not as a whistle blower.

The Equality Act 2010 have Protected Act and Protected Characteristics. But this was to set the precedent for the continuing discrimination that would result in the blacklisting and networking that ruined my career and triggered my childhood traumas into (16.) Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I was completing my studies with the OU when I was hit with a number of events that take me back to my childhood. My breda BYRON, was struck down with (17.) Colon Cancer and died within three months of the diagnosis of 3-6 months to live. Then the allegations came fast and furious and I didn’t know what hit me. I became (18.) paranoid and thought back to past events when I developed childhood traumas as well as the fact of how provocations can cause any person to act out of character.

My breda ASHTER was provoked and committed a criminal act and died in prison. I relied on my GP for support and was signed off sick, but knowing that work keeps me going was back at work as soon as I could. But the fact I had raised concerns and sought advice, meant I set myself on this rotating treadmill that I was unable to get back off. I was like a sitting duck and the target for everyone to mistreat. After evaluation of the situation, I decided to get the expert’s opinion about whether my breda’s sudden demise was affecting me. I self-referred to Occupational Health and after seeing two professionals, was passed fit to resume working. Take my foolish advice, once you challenge the status quo, you will end up suffering like I have done over the years.

I was signed off sick from work, but on returning, the discrimination escalated with full force. In 2006 I take time out, going for a holiday in the USA with family to get away from the situation. Working in any toxic environment, with colleagues who have been sanctioned to discriminate is very stressful and leading to disabilities been triggered and exacerbated into unmanageable and uncontrollable medical conditions. Because I was no longer able to manage my (19.) Mental Health Conditions – Depression to carry out normal day-to-day activities as was the norms, from I started working in the Early Years Sector. This time I was on my own, abandoned, shunned and excluded by my colleagues. Luckily some of the parents came to my rescue, writing resume for me. I was admitted to KINGS Accident & Emergency from work with (20.) Panic Attacks. But they refuse to give me a Medical Report at the hospital.

When I could no longer cope with carrying out normal day to day activities, because of having to be signed off work sick, I resigned. I decided to take my case to the ET, after the HR Department, UNISON, Southwark SEND Section, the Local Safeguarding Children’s Board, the Local Educational Authority and Ofsted colluded to undermine the work I had done during my studies with the OU. But before that I was given the run around by ACAS. Even the CAB refuse to advise me because they said I have a union, but I did not. I have to deal with the unprofessionalism of the unscrupulous solicitors Capsticks of Wimbledon. I was even in for a bigger shock when the GP who gave me the diagnosis of Chronic Anxiety in July 2006, to do my exam with the OU, refused to give me a Medical Report.

I had also gone for checks when there were (21.) abnormalities in the Pap smear I had done in 2004. That was about the same time I began to lose my (19.) sense of smell.  Years later I was to find the evidence linking my (22.) deficits and limitations to the DNA over which I have no choice. Most of my deficits and limitations are linked to my DNA from conception and there is not much I can do about it. Excepting of course continuing to manage my disabilities by maintaining my healthy lifestyle. But because of lack of knowledge on the part of LEYF Leaders and Management Team, I am again being penalised. All you have to do is take my arguments about how LEYF breached the contract I signed on the 7th October 2009. The contract was not reviewed and updated in line with the Equality Act 2010.

Dilys Epton Senior HR did not know that in sending me on Medical Suspension and to Occupational Health, this was covered by Disability Legislation and if so what Reasonable Adjustment should be considered.  LEYF used my vulnerability against me, refusing me access to my FILE, whilst breaching the Data Protection Act 1989 to breach the contract I signed. I was placed under additional significant workplace stress triggering my childhood traumas into PTSD. When I transferred to BIB, I was expected to work in the Baby Room, despite me having an agreement about not working with the younger children at the interview in May 2009. At HOC I was being offered a job in the Baby Room, and the two weeks I spent involved lots of sitting and lifting and using double buggy to take children to the Park, sometimes two times per day.

I was getting shocks from the plastics, mentioned in Dr Laura Crawford Medical Report from the Occupational Health Medical Suspension. When I raised concerns I was treated like a liar. Just like what was picked up in Dr Maria Hudson’s 2012 Research Paper Ref: 01/12.  And about how Black Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) employees are treated by employers – (David Lammy MP Review of Racial Bias representation in the Criminal Justice System).  In my case by the Employment Tribunal and Employment Appeal Tribunal. More recently there is the case reported in the www.express.org.uk of Friday December 29 2017 by John Twomey Executive called ‘pikey’ and ‘gyppo’ by bullying boss wins £280k pay out”.

The Deputy Manager of HOC, used my concerns about my disabilities and the impact this might have on the safeguarding of children in how I was able to carry out normal day-to-day activities reporting that I refused to supervise the children. Thereby, continuing the discrimination that came out of the Disciplinary labelling me as the following: uncooperative, unprofessional, rude, intimidating, confrontational, aggressive and lacking empathy. I was taking on my role as everyone is responsible for safeguarding children. At New Cross I was in the Baby Room when allegations were made, within a month of me returning to work. I was left on my own with the younger children downstairs, with the telephone to call for help if I need to go to the toilet. I have a Reasonable Adjustment agreement in place after putting in the grievance and meeting with Neil Best on the 16th July 2015.

I eventually got a job in the meantime, after almost giving up hope, of ever finding one. The impacts on my Mental Health after been turned down time after time, without an explanation at times began to take a toll on my (23.) emotional health and wellbeing. Realisation came one day when I was called just hours before an interview that it was cancelled. Then I was asked at one interview if I was attending lots, and the penny finally dropped. But still I continued with the hope my qualifications and qualities would show through, but it was not meant to be. The job I got with support from my friend, colleague and supported Winnifred Jacques was at Peckham Settlement.  But I was treated so unfairly by yet another former colleague, Augusta Foster, whom I supported, it’s unbelievable. I had supported her at KINGS, found her job, mentored her for interviews and written references for Ofsted and Southwark Council for her.

But I was rescued because of my generosity of spirits in helping others regardless of what’s happening in my life. By this time I was experiencing depression, talking about my problems help me get rid of the angst. I was told about the fact Westminster Children Society (WCS) now LEYF is recruiting, Alev Sagnak. We were colleagues at KINGS, but she left once the undermining of staff by the manager started. During the time I was at the ET with KINGS, I was holding down a full time job and representing myself. I am aware of every tricks in the book that HR Departments, Unions, Solicitors, CAB, Employers, GP, Legal Advisors, etc will use to sabotage vulnerable employers. Name it and they have done it to me from 2004 to date in the UK. That’s why I refuse to allow the ET to repeat the history of discrimination that destroy my life because some of the Judges decided to play devil’s advocate and continue to judge me.

How the Establishment and Systems Collude To Discriminate Against Vulnerable Employees

Firstly the Department for Works & Pension DWP giving me the run around when I was to submit my ET Form. And again when I was to get Fee Remission, but on each occasion, I exercised my rights, to get what was due to me. However that did not help me in preparing a RACISM claims, when everything is in my head and I have no concrete evidence. Then it was the turn of Judge Martin, who decided to repeatedly strike out the RACISM claims that were sent for review by Judge Baron. The Respondent’s Representative Mr John Fenton is a pathological liar. He lied in Court to Judge Elliott, in the presence of Winnifred Jacques at the Case Management on the 8th July 2016. He continued to lie in writing throughout. The ET tried stitching me up with the Telephone Conciliation, I had to put my concerns in writing once again.

I copied the ET into every correspondences with Mr Fenton, when he failed to comply with the Judges Court Management Orders. It later turned out Mr Fenton have no Legal trainings. This was only disclosed to me after the adjournment of the case. When Mr Fenton, get the Court Orders lifted to try tricking me to sign away my rights to having a hearing and accepting three of the four thousand pounds (£3,000.00) that was the Commercial Settlement on offer. Mr Fenton claimed to have no memory of the fifty eight thousands (£58,000.00) that was offered during the Telephone Conciliation.  But I have to tell the world how they tried to trick me about the Telephone Conciliation as well. If in any doubt about whether I am a credible witness, I maintain my Defensive Practice. Her Majesty Revenue & Custom HMRC got in on the act, breaching the Data Protection Act 1989.

But I quickly put them right, as I still don’t know where they think I was all this time before turning up at my address in late 2015? It seems every establishment and systems have it in for me, as I have to go to Southwark Council to let them know I am not an idiot. It took the DWP almost two years to sort out my Housing Benefits. In the meantime all they done was further exacerbated my Mental Health Conditions into PTSD. No it did not stop there because Southwark Council SEND Section think they could frighten me, like what they done to me at KINGS with their threats. In case they were not aware the volunteering I done with www.resourcesforautism.org.uk happen to be my work that I shared with the school that enlisted my help in writing an Educational Care Plan for the child.

Because the parent told the school about my contributions to her child and the family as a whole unit promoting inclusion as a professional. Therefore I reminded Southwark of what they done to me at KINGS and to make sure it’s on record. Imagine I was unable to get a placement in a Primary School in Southwark, when I was doing my Learning Support Assistant trainings, why was that? As before I was getting the run around after attending interviews. I started making every efforts getting involved socially to get back into working, but nothing was been done to help me. However I refused to give up. After the harrowing ordeals of yet another ET case, I waited for the outcome and contacted them. Only to be given some flimsy excuses for why the judgement was taking so long. Eventually it was posted online after taking five months to copy and paste the Respondent’s Summary.

Perverting the Course of Justice

LEYF set out to dismiss me from my job from the time I returned from my son’s wedding in January 2014. The changes that started with the culling of prominent Leaders and Management like Karen Walker, Head of Children Services and Families was just the beginning of my experiences until I was forced to resign with a Nervous Breakdown. It was a surprise to everyone when Karen Walker resigned and others followed, until even Julie Weise done the same. Julie Weise, manager of Luton Street left before I returned in January 2014. However she left me a Leaving Card. I meet up with Julie Weise the last time at the New Year Staff Party 2014. I meet Rashid Iqbal, who replaced Karen Walker in passing at the party for the first time.

Rashid Iqbal was an insider brought in on Positive Discrimination to replace Karen Walker. The same happened to meet when I was the only LEYF staff shortlisted for the position of Lead Early Years Practitioner and was not considered good enough and an outsider got employed. After that more female employees were leaving in their droves. The story doing the rounds was that they could not get on with the CEO June O’Sullivan. The organisation changed and needed to be meeting managerial targets that were no longer promoting and implementing inclusion. If in doubt I attended ResPublica www.respublica.org..uk Clubbing Together: The Hidden Wealth of Communities by Keith Cooper and Caroline Macfarland, and write a report. I attended the meeting with the Deputy Manager Stacey-Jane Whitfield to represent the manager Julie Weise, who should have represented the CEO.

By this time I was doing the work of the professional as a graduate of the OU, applying the top down bottom up approaches of the experts (qualifications & trainings 1997-date). On the 19th January 2016, Stacey-Jane Whitfield wrote on Facebook about the impacts of not getting a lunch break. Especially if one have diabetes (Contract Sections 2009, Equality Act 2010 and the ET Judgement 2017). Considering the fact that I joined LinkedIn resulting from the CEO Memo to employees to contribute to her BLOG, in 2012. I invited colleagues with reservations to join before Social Media is the platform that it is today. Yet in January 2015 after writing LEYF on my Doorstep, Hilda Miller told me I must remove all mention that I work with LEYF from my profiles. I was barred from getting updates from the Nursery World FORUM, where I was a contributor.

However once I got access again, I had correspondence from the editor of the Nursery World Forum. I worked in partnership with Community Playthings, but after doing a presentation on the 26th October 2016, everything changed. I have agreement with them to have my work in video and photographic formats to help me get back into working and this have not been honoured. The CEO-MBE June O’Sullivan visited BIB with one of LEYF trustee’s Aletea Siow on the 28th January 2015. This was to try and stitch me up to breach the Social Media Policy & Procedures. See From: June O’Sullivan MBE Sent: 29th January 2015 13:03 To: All Nurseries; COT; Trustees Subject: Visit to Bird in Bush. Please refer to LEYF Policy On Use Of Social Networking Sites September 2010 & Behaviour Management to see how LEYF continue to abuse their power of authority and operating contrary to the Equality Act 2010 and other updated and new Rules of Laws.

Yet when I ask for my FILE that I was refused access from January 2014 whilst still at Luton Street, I was refused. I have since requested disclosure of information from LEYF only for them to respond with a letter dated 2nd January 2018 Without Prejudice Subject Access Request. As with my dealings with LEYF from the time I realised they set out to destroy my life (refer to email to Senior HR Dilys Epton 14th March 2015), I haven’t got a clue what they are doing. That’s why I am challenging the Employment Tribunal Judgement to be (cohesive: based on those in the establishment and systems that are prepared to discriminate against me in support of LEYF). I should not have been subjected to another miscarriages of justice by the Employment Tribunal. Leaving me to be going through the EAT.

The results are that I am facing further discrimination from scammers, terrorists and unscrupulous people because I am vulnerable. Considering I have all the evidence in the BUNDLE, which the letter from LEYF can be used to substantiate my Witness Statement and Summary of the ET Case. The 3 Judges might have been tricked by the continuing unprofessionalism of the Respondent Representative Mr John Fenton, who by the way do not have Legal Trainings. The input of Solicitors Bates Wells Braithwaite that chose to send me a letter of threat on the 24th September 2015. Then keeping a low profile after the Open Letter and other correspondences. Only to resurface in August 2017 after the judgement was posted online, reminding me about the threats. They get Facebook and Twitter Legal Team to contact me. And they have since disappeared again, despite me addressing their threats.

I would like to bring to the attention of the world my letter to the Daily Express Mental Health Crusade Dealing with the stigma of Mental Health that can be accessed on Social Media. Then refer to Health Management Medical Advice for Business. Boston House, 2nd Floor, 63-64 New Broad Street, EC2M 1JJ. Email: teamA4@healthmanltd.com Website: www.healthmanltd.com Web link: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps… I was advised to seek Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to find out why I react to situations the way I do. I was the EYFS Coordinator, SENCO and Multigenerational Working Approach Facilitator.

Therefore what give the 3 judges the rights to make a judgement based on the Respondent’s Summary? If you go back to look you will find this happened after allegations about Rumi’s wedding, the investigations were decided from the allegations and complaints. The Disciplinary Outcomes were based on the allegations, complaints and investigations. And I could go on and on showing how the cohorts colluded throughout from January 2014 at Luton Street to the time I resigned on the 27th September 2015 to use my vulnerability to destroy my Mental Health. Therefore I should not have had to be going through the EAT.

Evaluation: How the Employment Tribunal Contingent Laws and Legislation are putting Employees at risk of Mental Health Conditions and other Disabilities

 I am making sure I take back my good name from what’s at https://www.gov.uk/employment-tribunal-decisions/ms-m-myers-v-london-early-years-foundation-2016. I am a Writer, Photographer. Blogger and Advocate of Inclusion. As a result of the breaching of the Rules of Law, everyone seems to think it’s a field day to jump on the bandwagon to demonise Mervelee Myers and I am here to tell the world about it. So the like of my Consultant Winsome Duncan of www.peachespublication.co.uk will know that I refuse to allow another person to take advantage of me. That also goes for Ryan Clement http://www.rayanclement. The Police and Ambulance Services won’t escape either, because what would they have done when they showed up at my home on the 30th October 2017, if I was agitated?

Because of my disabilities both Mental and Physical, I am never in a rush to do anything, as this can make life so much more difficult for me. As with the first ET case with KINGS, I only became aware of certain pertinent fact that hinges on the outcome. After using delaying tactics to confuse me, the solicitors waited until the final moment, to be exact the day before the start of the case to send an offer of four thousand pounds (£4,000.00). I had no time to consider the offer as I could only open it just before the start of the case. I was working full time with LEYF by this time. I was representing myself yet there were three solicitors and barristers representing KINGS. In the end they confused the Judges who in the end confused me.

This time around, I was representing myself and only became aware of some information after the case finished. But what’s most important are some of the discrepancies to be found in the judgement. One in particularly that’s of interests is the fact no mention was made about one of the witnesses, Isabella Glen. Since she was the one who done the investigations and responsible for the Disciplinary, I find that really strange. Another matter of interest is the Employment Appeal Tribunal decisions mentioning the RACISM claims, as if it was part of the ET Case hearing. But since the Racism claims was strike out repeatedly, how did it come to get mentioned in the Appeal?

Even if that unscrupulous Barrister Ryan Clement made mention of it, that is also showing that he was involved in defrauding me of my money by submitting irrelevant information that have no bearings on the case. I have not worked since I was forced to resign with a Nervous Breakdown on the 27th September 2015. Now I can’t move on with my life through no fault of my own. I have to conclude that by posting the judgement online this has become more of a hindrance for me. Because Winsome Duncan was helping me to set up my online business until she got ideas to make money out of me because of my vulnerabilities that were disclosed in the judgement online.

Winsome Duncan hatched her plans the same way LEYF done to wear me down. In the process she got her Employment Barrister to scam me and I don’t know what he done for the £9,000.00 – nine thousand pounds he charged my husband to prepare the Appeal. I was so relieved, when he offered to take over the Appeal. I just turned over everything to him and left him to get on with the work. But Winsome Duncan seemed to have plans to harm me at her birthday party. When I was unable to attend. She send the Police and Ambulance Services to my home to section me. Whether they know it or not, this is radicalisation and terrorism. I aim to get justice for what has happened to me. I am holding the Employment Tribunal responsible for making my life the hell that it has become.

Mervelee each time I see my children’s success I only say nobody deserves to say thanks after God expect you. If everybody wrong don’t let them drive you mad. There are many outstanding teachers who are victims. Teachers like you, who decided to quit the Education System with the Local Education Authorities. And they are doing outstanding jobs, helping students.  We love you.
We love you to teach our children. Please let’s speak off live. I admire your determination to stand up against them.

Mervelee Ratty Nembhard · Manal, I will be in touch. Each time I think I am moving forward, they do this to me again. So I am showing them what I am made of. I build their brand and #JuneOSullivan will pay for sanctioning the discrimination, if it’s the last thing I do?

Dear Mervelee,
Mum gave me the phone to tell you something from the deepest depths of my heart (not for real 🤗). That you are the person who taught me good manners, to make friends and to say what you believe in. I am turning 11 in 3 days my birthday wish will be for you to have a great life and that you succeed in whatever you are doing. Stay strong you are a soldier with no armour except for knowledge. Use it wisely or you will get beaten up by the big bully who has all the armour and weapons but no knowledge. I miss you so much!
P.S: I did that quote on the spot!!
Best Wishes,

Taurus: Sharing your expert knowledge will be gratifying. People are eager to learn from you because you take a gentle approach to educating. Instead of giving up on students who are struggling, you’ll try a range of teaching methods until the penny drops. Daily Express Russell Grant www.express.org.uk.

Blacklisting & Networking is Discrimination

TA course

Mervelee Myers

Mervelee Myers  Edit article

 I have signed up for a 14 weeks, Supporting Teaching & Learning In Schools (QCF) Level 2. This is with Islington College/HCT http://www.hctgroup.org. Yes I guess I have to face up to the realities of the systems which operate to tell me one thing about myself when I know another. But life goes on and I have to accept that every thing in one’s life happen for good and even bad times. Therefore I am putting the bad times behind me and grasping out for the good, better and best.
I am moving forward with positive vibes and faith in God to see me through. And if I am honest enough, this is after I stopped long enough to stop “cussing bout mi bad and tek back control a fi mi life”. There are a few obstacles in my way that may pose as barriers, constraints and limitations to me completing this programme of studies. 1. I need a school to do at least 30 hours of placements to meet the criteria for the course. I’ve been trying but no joys to date. Well I know darned well I don’t have to spell it out why…?
Update 22.01.2018: Well after writing my application as part of the DWP criteria for Universal Credit, the lady at the Job Centre said she is a Proofreader. There was only one grammatical errors in my letter. I gave to my peers to use as template and one lady who is multilingual, and a translator, told me how helpfull she found it. Despite doing all these trainings. Today the 22nd January 2018, I am still out of a job. My circumstances have become even worse. No doubt because of another miscarriages of justice by the ET http://www.justice.gov.uk/tribunals/employment/claims/responding. After the discrimination I endured at http://www.leyf.org.uk, from the 23rd July 2014 to date. The ET further damaged my reputations with the online judgement at https://www.gov.uk/employment-tribunal-decisions/ms-m-myers-v-london-early-years-foundation-2300047-2016.
The other things that became hindrances surrounds my overall emotional health and wellbeing, and what some “Corporate Institutionalised Psychopaths” did to me. When I go back and read their Blog of 15th June 2012, it tells me everything I needed to know about them. Now I have a clear picture in my head how they changed from being the organisation I knew to one that is “LACKING EMPATHY”. Maybe if they revisit the Blog, they will witness how “the self-fulfilling prophecy” came about slowly but surely over the years.
Update 22.01.2018: I am on a mission to expose the discrimination against vulnerable employees, in particularly the Early Years Sector that I worked with from 1999 to when I was forced to resign with a nervous breakdown.  I am part of research by Dr Maria Hudson 2012 Research Paper recommended to http://www.acas.org.uk/researchpapers. I am attending the http://www.nurseryworldshow.com/london, and the Childcare Expo 2018 to see some of those responsible for destroying my health and taking away my rights and dignity.  
They are responsible for robbing me of “my self-confidence and self-esteem” that I’ll have to spend I don’t know how long to rebuild? And they honestly think they got away with destroying what I spent so many years to build. I now have to start from scratch and force myself “not to be frightened by every shadow and see a Duppy in every movements”?

Let me get back to my main reasons for writing this post. 2. Along with the school to do the placement, I’d like to get a copy of a book. Book title: Supporting Teaching & Learning in Schools By: Louise Burnham & Brenda Baker Publishers: Heinemann ISBN 978-0-435032-03-6. Normally I’d go out to spend my money to buy my own, but my circumstances have changed.

Update 22.01.2018: I have had counselling http://www.slam-iapt.nhs.uk/southwark. There was a Judge’s Court Management for me to present Medical Reports at the Employment Tribunal. Only for them to turn around and treated me with prejudicial baises of the demeanest proportions they are unimaginable. Thats why I have written my Review of the Employment Tribunal, from my own perspectives. It will be going out to the relevant authorities and then going online, the same way the judgement was posted.   When I get this course over I intend to do “The Specialist Diploma Level 3” and take things from there. Hopefully I will then be able to do my PGCE after doing my research. The good thing about the above 2 courses I don’t have to do exams. As of now it’s more life as I move forward to conquer and overcome the “Fears of being JUDGED” that the PSYCHOPATHS who labelled me have done to me.

Update 22.01.2018: Well there was no joys for me here either, as I faced further discrimination from Tutu Adebiyi of http://www.hctgtoup.org. She told me when she called me for a visit, when I was handed a copy of the Impact Report 2016 Changing Times, Lasting Impact that she works in partnership with LEYF. Maybe that’s why I was not surprised when I was given the run around. It’s strange and I did not even notice the statistics until it was pointed out by http://www.ryanclement.com/. On page 9 of the Impact Report 2016. It states 1 in 5 of all suicides are associated with unemployment. I am positive that’s where my Coach, who I got to help me set up a business got the ideas from for what she done to me. Instead of publishing my book, she stole my copyright and tried to get me to write her life story in my book. After the way I was treated by Winsome Duncan of http://www.peachespublications.co.uk. I am only left with the evidence collected from both, that Barrister Ryan Clement groomed Winsome Duncan and they are operating a scam against vulnerable people. The plan was to harm me at Winsome’s 40th birthday party on the 27th October 2017. Because I was unwell and could not attend. Winsome send the Police and Ambulance Services to my home to section me on the 30th October 2017. I have the emails, text messages and messages on my house phone as proof.

They’ve blackened my name, ruined my reputations and destroyed my character. However the race is not for the swift, but those who can endure to the end. I am living my life in honour of my “Mother for whom I am regretting not to have known better”, because if I did, I’d have had a more enriched life. Mama could not read, but she spell and pronounce. She practiced writing and writing her “r” the old fashioned way. Everything I do these days in in “Mama’s Memory” as I look forward to writing another tribute for her 92nd Birth Date.

Update 22.01.2018: Although I have been pushed from pillow to posts over the past 4 years. Today as I celebrate the 4th year since I said my final goodbye to my mother. Despite not knowing and recognising me when I spent 4 weeks with her, because of her dementia http://www.dementiafriends.org.uk. She came around on the day I was returning to the UK, telling my son, “she did not come to say goodbye”? That’s the lasting legacy I have of my mum, because I have it digital.   

Let those without any SINS cast the first stone!    My “Homemade Book” was borrowed to improve on as a Teaching & Learning Tool the day SKY News http://skynews.com/? visited. I haven’t heard “breeze blow bout it since”. Does any one know about “Copyrights & Patents”, I’d really appreciate. I intend to write my story bout “Sweet Cassava & Bitter Cassada” & it should be revealing.

Me Nah Buy Nuh Puss In Bag?

 Mervelee Myers   Mervelee Myers

Me Nuh Buy Nuh Puss Eina Nuh Bag?

I brave the rain and winds to go do my regular shopping in East Street market, but believe me ESM is not the same as it once was, but as usual I am ME. I greeted people I pass on the way as I was brought up by my old fashioned parents. I popped into the Bookies to collect the little dividend from Tom’s bet last Saturday. And crossed over the road to go to the PO to get information for my hubby about the Pension Scheme that has come on board as he wants to invest. I made my merry way down the road. Walking has become 1 of my greatest love as this is how I managed to help maintain a semblance of good health where some of my health conditions are concerned.

I walked through the market trying to find my money’s worth of things to buy, especially since my hubby TOM is so intent on me getting values for money and saving up what I can for my old age. I saw Mr Peter Tatchell the Gay Rights Campaigner, and greeted him “wishing him a HNY” and he responded in kind. I went to buy some vegetables but decided against it because under closer examinations they were going off. I got some squash and broccoli on a stall and when the bloke held on tightly to the bag, asks him what he thinks I am going to do? Run off without paying him – as I have a heavy trolley and a handbag… And of course he begins to argue and I told him exactly what I think of him… “You are a silly man!” I went to another stall to buy from a young man and he is so professional and the mere fact that he acknowledged me made such a difference. It is worthwhile to know that there are still some very nice persons out there no matter your Job Description as we all have different roles to play in life.

I went to look at yams and when I done the finger pinching test learnt from my old folks in JA, they were already turning black and rotten. I walked ½ way down the market to find my African auntie to check out her yams, but hers were no good. I headed back to the 1st stall, looked and chose 2 yams and asked the bloke to cut them. When he cut the 1st one it is no good. So I decided I am not having them and the bloke begins to argue. I decided to buy 1 big yam for a fair price instead of getting 2 for £5.00 and the bloke now adds 50 pence so I decided to argue as well. The bloke takes the 50 pence back off and I asks him to cut it, but the other bloke is telling him not to unless I am buying. I told them I have chosen it so I am buying, but I work hard for my money and I have to know I am getting value for my money. There is no way I am dragging a whole load of stuff home to end up in the compost, because I might end up spend £5.00 and end up getting £1.00 money worth out of them.

One of my African sister agreed with me and backed up my arguments. I went to Danny’s shop to get a few bits and bobs and heard another of my African breda teasing him about being a Baby Father and I jokingly offered to be God Mother. I saw Michael on my way back and he said I’d promised to give him my mobile phone #. He showed me the newest addition to his family and his recent trip to the USA – we are Jamaicans and living in close proximity in Bermondsey. It’s important to me to keep connected to my own people. I got back in doors only to leave the trolley to go back out to the Bookies to put on Tom’s bet. Because these days he is not as mobile as he’d wished, what with the aging process in full swing. I cooked my hubby’s soup and served him on a tray in the living room whilst he watched snooker or horse racing and any other sports that take his fancy. He was crossed because his idol Ronny O’Sullivan lost the match.

My job is to serve and that is exactly what I do. I went on the internet to check out the information I was given about the Pension and I think some of my duties are accomplished? These days I realised that most of the foodstuff that is bought and cooked in my house either end up spoilt, going in the compost bin, stored in the fridge until it is also thrown out, because I refused to do anything to exacerbate any of my health conditions. My hubby knows I love plantains and he went out and bought them, but I prefer abstain for the sake of my health with the hope that I can maintain a relatively healthy lifestyle as long as is decently possible. I don’t want to rely on anyone for hand-outs either? Where I come from we have practically all kinds of fresh produce to help us maintain good health. I am a real country girl who came from Sugar Belt Country, so I know more than most about getting food stuff straight off the trees or digging them up from the ground and when we buy we buy only the best.

Now that I have sorted out some of the Blinking Foolishness that derailed my Plans since the Past 2 weeks and I can now get back to celebrating my Mama’s Life and the other things that are important to me!

Multigenerational Working Approach

Thinking of brand Mervelee Myers & the Case Studies!

I find this article interesting for a variety of reasons. Some day it will be made clear when I eventually clear my name. That’s why I have my Fight4justice campaign to get the government to hold an injuiry into the Early Years sector. That way I don’t have to face another miscarriages of justice after being part of Dr Maria Hudson 201 Research Paper Ref: 01/12 recommended to http://www.acas.org.uk/research/papers.
That way they will think twice about posting online at https://www.gov.uk/employment-tribunal-decisions/ms-m-myers-v-london-early-years-foundation-2300047-2016.

Call for ‘shared sites’ to bring young and old together

Be the first to comment

A new report has called for the introduction of 500 intergenerational shared sites to unite young and old people and counter ‘age apartheid’.

Lexden Lodge Kindergarten in Colchester visits Oaks Care Home

According to think tank United for All Ages in its ‘Mixing Matters’ report published today (5 January 2018), urgent action is needed to create 500 shared sites across the country by 2022 to tackle growing social divides in ‘Brexit Britain’.

In the report’s analysis of recent research, it found that Britain is one of the most age segregated countries in the world, particularly for the oldest and youngest generations, and said this gap has widened over the last 50 years.

United for All Ages made three key recommendations for bringing older and younger people together:

  • Building multigenerational communities: supporting community businesses, making public spaces more accessible, opening community facilities to all ages, co-locating childcare and eldercare schemes
  • Mutual support through two-way relationships: online mentoring of younger people, advocacy for older people needing health and social care, ‘homeshare’ schemes where younger people live with older people, increased interaction between grandfathers and grandchildren
  • Better communication between generations: establishing a national council for all ages supported by an intergenerational convention, building bridges between generations using arts activities and street parties.

According to the think tank, shared sites such as housing schemes for the elderly co-located with nurseries should be prioritised in the fight to beat age segregation.

The ‘Mixing Matters’ report highlights the growth of shared sites in 2017, including the first ‘care-home nursery’ at Apples and Honey Nightingale in south west London, and mentions the significance of the Channel 4 programme ‘Old People’s Home for Four Year Olds’ in raising awareness of intergenerational projects.

Director of United for All Ages Stephen Burke said, ‘Brexit Britain is dogged by divisions – we are divided by class, income, race, geography and age. The mistrust that arises from such divisions is fuelled by the lack of connection between different generations. This can breed myths and stereotypes, misunderstanding, ageism and exclusion. That’s why we believe mixing matters.

‘The joy of mixing can unite Brexit Britain in these divided times. As surveys repeatedly show, older and younger generations have much more in common than some would have us believe. Now’s the time to make shared sites happen because mixing matters for everybody.’

I Survived DV & Discrimination 2 Times

Remove The Perpetrator Not The Victims

CHANGE THE LAW TO FULLY PROTECT SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND THE INNOCENT CHILDREN

The current system does not sufficiently protect and support survivors of domestic violence. We need to change the law and the system so that survivors can regain their full freedom, safe from fear, threats and harassment, and be given appropriate support and help to heal and recover from trauma.

I am a survivor of one of the most widespread crimes of all time, domestic violence. I was held hostage, tortured, beaten and conditioned to do exactly what my abuser wanted. Miraculously, I survived.

After many, many, years I finally escaped with my children, and we were then placed in the hands of a system where, due to lack of support and appropriate care, we were traumatised further.

I fought my abuser in the law courts for years after escaping, and in the end my children and I were taken away from where we had lived and placed in a different part of the country, far from family, friends and all we had ever known. While still suffering the serious and debilitating effects of post-traumatic stress, we were put in a refuge full of strangers and had to stay near to a year in one room, without any contact with loved ones, without TV and radio, without appropriate medical care and mental health support or any resemblance of normality.

If my abuser had been sent to jail he would have had better treatment. He would have had phone calls, visits, letters to family and friends. My children and I had none of the above, and I wasn’t even allowed to have a mobile to take out and make me feel safe. I did everything and more that the system asked of me and yet I was made to feel like I was in the wrong. Being sent from one controller to an ocean of new controllers, the system that is put into place to protect us actually played a detrimental part of further trauma to us.

While we went through further stress and trauma, my abuser was free to remain in his home, in his job and within his social network, and he is still free to commit violent crimes against others.

Why should the survivors be taken away?

Why should the innocent children be ripped away from everything they have known and that offers them stability and happiness?

Why is the abuser left in their own home and job and left to commit more crimes?

Why are the innocent made to feel they have done wrong?

We want the system to change. The perpetrator must be removed, not the survivors and their innocent children.

In order to save lives we ask that the law is changed as a matter of ur-gency to protect the lives of victims, and to give them appropriate support and help so they can heal, recover and live the rest of their lives in freedom.

Today I am a survivor and I want to help make the changes that are needed to save lives.

One voice joined by a million more can save lives.

One person alone can not help everybody, but everybody can help one person.

2018 New Year’s Resolutions

The Thoughts of Mervelee Myers that were written on the 31st December 2012. Published on Facebook on 31.12.2012.

New Year Resolutions 2013. Updated for New Year 2018.

Dearest Father once more, Ermine Mervelee Ionie NEMBHARD-Myers-TOMLINSON comes before Thee with my prayers and wishes for the New Year 2018. If you could consider even one of my supplications, I’d be eternally grateful. This, it seems I will have to spell it out and demand that I, be given closures about this matter of another discrimination here in the UK. Because everyone is allowing London Early Years Foundation LEYF www.leyf.org.uk to get away with Modern Day SLAVERY practices of pre 1807. Despite there is a Modern Slavery Act 2015.  The United Nation Convention on the Rights of the Child: Article 14 states that it is a basic entitlement of humans to enjoy their rights and freedoms without discrimination on any grounds.

This New Year, 2018 means a new I, Mervelee Myers, is prepared to negotiate and meet half way…  However, I have given everyone the chance to settle whatever differences there are/were between us, amicably. Therefore, I am not going to give up any more of my basic Human Rights for others to discriminate against like what was done at https://www.gov.uk/employment-tribunal-decisions/ms-m-myers-v-london-early-years-foundation-2300047-2016.

Every day please make my life continue, to evolve as I try to embrace my callings toward new thinking and ways of working. By so doing I can be empowered with enhanced knowledge to evaluate the old fashioned values and beliefs and the ethos by which I was brought up… I have been advised to read Psalm 27 v 1: The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? I started the daily reading only today and I am positive I will find renewed inspirations rediscovering the Bible as a source of comfort and joy for my weary and battered mind and soul?

When will I see my loved ones again? If not on earth we will meet at Jesus’ throne… This is very tricky for me as I still have not had the time to grieve for my Mother, because of LEYF and now the Employment Tribunal think they can abuse the powers of their authority to make me a voiceless victim. I have since lost family and friends and my life is still held on tenterhooks as I am fighting to get closures. Today marks another milestones in the life of my family, however I am finding it hard to celebrate as I ought to. I would love to meet all my dearly departed one day at Jesus’ throne, but how can I do that without getting the closures to move on…?

Yester year was like an evening gone, but I intend to make 2013 even more productive as I stop yearning for the impossible… Little did I know what was going to be in store for me, but I was given a pre-warning. It was January 2014, when I was at my Auntie’s home, when I got the warning from a Man of GOD. He prayed for me and I thought that was the end of it, but four years later, I am still confronted with this matter. When will it be resolved…?

I know Eternal and everlasting life is promised to believers, and I intend to let my light shine, so others may see my better qualities… This is a sticky matter for me to handle after what LEYF done to destroy my life. This was after coming back from burying my Mother. However after the ordeals of the horrors of the ET Case, I have to admit that the discrimination started from January 2014. I have the evidence as part of my defensive practice to attest to this fact. Whether anyone wants to accept that I am a believer, I am. That’s the way I was brought up to believe in the teachings of the Bible.

My intention is to Arise, take up the Cross and follow Jesus… See my Christian principles are the reasons for this decision, however how am I supposed to do this? The way my life has been affected by the discrimination after I said my final goodbye to Mama and came back to the UK on the 22nd January 2014 are debateable. If I didn’t have GOD guiding me, I would not be here telling my stories, of the experiences. I have been advised to read Psalm 23 v 1–10, and I am finding comfort and solace in the scriptures.

I’ll always Remember, my past, as this will enable me to deal with the future revelations… If the 23rd July 2014 to the 31st December 2017 are/was anything to go by, then I have every reasons to remember my past. However I have to admit that the advice I was given by the Occupational Health Doctor, Laura Crawford is instrumental for many reasons. The advice was for me to seek Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to find out why I react to certain situations the way I do. I have since had counselling at the Maudsley Hospital www.slam-iapt.nhs.uk/southwark. I am dealing with my past and looking forward to any future revelations.

I’ll always Resolved to revel in my family and friend’s achievements. Rewarding those who are precious to me, as well as fulfilling my promises to help others who might need my support. Ensuring I revere and extoll the virtues of those who have stood by me through thick and thin over the years… Look no further than my support network at https://www.facebook.com/public/Mervelee-Myers, to see how my perseverance is paying off.

Please Empower, me to enlist support and encouragement in times of enlightenment when I am in doubt… My Fight4justice campaign is testament to the fact I will not allow another soul to walk all over me like what was done to me at Mapother House Day Nursery, Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. By the Local Education Authority, Southwark Council SEND Section sen@southwark.gov.uk. The union at http://unison.org.uk/. Solicitors Capsticks of Wimbledon and the Local Safeguarding Children’s Board. And www.ofsted.gov.uk/parents. That’s why Dr Maria Hudson 2012 Research Paper Ref: 01/12 https://www.essex.ac.uk. Made recommendation to www.acas.org.uk/researchpapers about the research: The Experience of Discrimination on Multiple Grounds. I was involved in the research and vowed to clear my name and exonerate myself. So good luck to the ET Judges who are prepared to bury their heads in the sand about hiding behind the contingent laws and legislations that are not fit for purpose. UNISON overturned the government law of charging employees to take employers to the ET.

Perspectives from another Woman with similar experiences: 2nd January 2018

I’ll always Seek, solace in God, our soon coming King. To see me through the sorrows and tribulations which are bound to come my way… I am prompted to expand a little on this after an unplanned visit to see my friend and her relative yesterday. I decided to walk using the route I would normally have taken to work at BIB LEYF. It is only 20-30 minutes’ walk from my home as I told the www.ofsted.gov.uk Ofsted Inspector in September 2014. I was used as the employee for whom Reasonable Adjustments were made as part of my transition from Luton Street to BIB. That’s why I had to voice my concerns whilst standing at the bus stop from across BIB. Although I was given a warning in January 2014, before saying my final goodbyes to my Mum. I was not prepared for any of the trials and tribulations that were coming my way since I wrote the 2013 New Years’ Resolutions.

I’ll always expect you to Observe and help me take stack and remove obstacles that are coming my way, and enable me to obtain my dreams if it is your wish dear Lord… Talking to the relative of my friend who went through similar experiences to mine, is more than a revelation. More reasons for me to continue with my advocacy, sharing my stories to help and empower others.

I’ll always expect you to Listen to my fervent prayers and turn my dreams into reality… Already this is bearing fruit as I am sure there is a reason for what I call the Road to Damascus going down to the CAB at the Blue in Bermondsey on the 11th December 2017. I am sure every single actions that I had taken, that led me to meeting one particular person, was ordained by GOD. The GOD who was listening to my prayer, hence the person contacting me via Facebook Messaging, even when he did not remember we were school mates at Primary School.

Please let my Utterances be tempered with tolerance and thoughts of others, so I don’t intentionally offend. I promised not to take umbrage when others are unintentionally unpleasant and unprincipled…  Can someone please inform the bigots and all those who have tried to destroy my life from after I got back to the UK on the 23rd July 2014 and transferred to BIB, HOC and New Cross, about my Social Media platforms?

These are the vehicles I have been using to share stories of my experiences.

Please remove Temptations, I pray and will YOU ensure they are banished forever…  So why do I have to be wrestling with my conscience about matters over which I do not have much control? I am woman, and only human, of course. But I know this is part of my history, as all my women folks have gone through similar transitions. Not least my Mother, who never forgot the man she gave her love to after my Father.

Please Inspire me to reach my goals… So why do I have no job and have to be relying on benefits? I am at the mercies of the establishments and systems and all that robbed me of every shed of my dignity. However, I am going to start relying more on GOD and the people who love and care about me to help inspire and motivate me. I will believe now that “GOD can restore what is broken and change into something amazing. All I need is faith”?

Omnipotent and majestic I’d like to be, if only to fulfil Thy will oh Lord. So I can be of service to God and those who need me most… Yet all I am is a shadow of my former self, trying to put the best out sides. Because everyone must feel some sense of satisfaction by being able to knock me down and stopping me from getting back on my feet. LEYF www.leyf.org.uk & http://www.justice.gov.uk/tribunals/employment/claims/responding & www.voicetheunion.org.uk & https://unison.org.uk & www.hctgroup.org & www.connex-education.com & www.personnelconsultancy.com to name a few.

Never leave me to my own negative thoughts for longer than necessary…  Oh yes, all I have most of the times are my memories of the dreams that have not been fulfilled and become realities. However, I have decided to stop the wallowing in self-pity and get on with my Fight4justice campaign. Who could have thought I would be getting such support at MYJAMAICA Page on Facebook?

Saviour hear my call and empower me to be of service to those who are depending on me…  That’s why I have to take my Fight4justice to Social Media. My life have been taken away from me. However I am an empowering black woman who is an influencer.

PS:

Just a few wishes as I struggle with the tasks which confront me again this year. I am pleading your intersession and ask that you continue guiding and protecting my mum and 2 children for yet another year.

My Mother has been dead since the 1st June 2014. I have lost other family members and friends as well. Some have fallen ill and I am unable to help financially like I know it is my duty to do. So where is the justice in this Mother Country, where animals are treated better than some of us? For example the Employment Tribunal decided to judge me on what grounds I am still not able to comprehend?

My children are doing well and I am proud and happy for them. But how can someone else judge me to be the person who they say I am, after thee sacrifices I have been making for everyone else?

Lord oh my Lord make me an instrument of your peace… A bright & prosperous New Year 2 ALL!!!!!

“Defensive Practice” #2 Gagged!

Mervelee Myers

Mervelee Myers  my life of facing discrimination in the UK! Edited on the 19th December 2017

Domestic Abuse Because I Was Not Street Wise: I have been here before and got stitched up by all and sundries. When I was going through my “Divorce the Solicitor didn’t believe 1/2 of what I told him” until I produced the evidence. When my ex-husband “kicked me out and bring his Sweetheart from JA”, I cut out his photos from beside me and send them to her. Call me what you will I don’t care, because unless you have had my experiences, you don’t know my sorrows and struggles. My “Old Folks used to say if sinting nuh hot Bud, it nuh Fly a Night”.

That woman came over here from Jamaica and carried on with her antics. So once I got enough of her stupidity I showed her and my ex what I was made of. I took out a loan at the Credit Union to fund my divorce and that is that. I will stand up for and even die for what I believe in. That’s why http://www.leyf.org.uk will not hear the last of me. I decided to give away my rights at Kings College Hospital when http://unison.org.uk, sen@southwark.gov.uk and the establishments and systems ganged up against me in 2004-2008. That’s the reason I was part of Dr Maria Hudson 2012 Research Paper Ref: 01/12 recommended to the http://www.acas.org.uk/researchpapers.  

Defrauded by the Banking Institutions & Labelled a Thief: They colluded to steal/defraud my MONEY when I planned to go home for my “grandson’s christening”. And everyone else – In-Steal-Executioners preferred to brand me a Thief. So I let the Bank see I was “not an idiot” and got my compensation. I take my case to the Financial Ombudsman Services. Now you know I have been fighting my corners, from I learned to read and write. 

How the Employment Tribunals Operating Like An Ostrich: The same thing happened when some “Corporate Psychopaths” decided to do what these ones, LEYF are doing to me. They think they got away using “Dirty Tricks from the Union, Solicitors, etc, etc…”. And even though I chuck most of my stuff out in frustrations, I still have enough to name and shame them. The only reason I am prepared to exonerate the NHS, is because they provided the counselling for me at http://www.slam-iapt.nhs.uk/southwark. But I will forever hold them responsaible for triggering my childhood traumas into Post Traumatic Stress Disorders. Not only that they ruined my career with the blacklisting and networking over the years. I will forgive, but can’t forget and they will be named when appropriate.

Advised to get Cognitive Behavioural Therapy by Dr Laura Crawford: I told my Counsellor Laura Tinsley at Southwark Psychological Therapies Service www.slam-iapt.nhs.uk/southwark that I am glad in a way I get to do the Therapy. I am getting the support I need to deal with lots of stuff that I didn’t even know affected me from my childhood. I told her the trouble started in the area, at Mapother House Day Nursery -KINGS. And in order to move on, I have to “Exercise some of the Ghosts of my Past” and I am on track. I am so pleased with myself for where I am at with my progress, dealing with my Mental Health Conditions. That’s why I am an Advocate of Inclusion, a Social Commentator, a Writer, a Volunteer and Fundraiser with my Fight4justice campaign at https://www.facebook.com/public/Mervelee-Myers.   

Let Down by the Uncaring Establishments and Systems: So now I get to this little matter of why I tried to clung on to my job and endured the DISCRIMINATION that drove me to the edge of despair. All of South London Big Wigs in Southwark Council, the Local Educational Authorities, Local Safeguarding Children’s Board, UNISON, Capsticks of Wimbledon, my GP at Landor Road Surgery, and the NHS colluded and were involved in “Blacklisting and Networking” against me. But if these lots, http://www.leyf.org.uk, http://www.voicetheunion.org.uk, http://www.bwbllp.com, http://www.personnelconsultancy.com, http://www.resourcesforautism.org.uk, http://www.connex-education.com, http://www.hctgroup-org, http://www.nurseryworld.co.uk, think they are getting away with it… Not “over my DEAD Body” as my Old Folks would say.

The Evidence showing from when I chared my concerns with LEYF about my DISABILITIES and the impacts of the DISCRIMINATION: I am sure anyone who is able to read can understand what is written in this email to Dilys Epton and her response. The Union Rep Darren Mahon made mention of it at the Disciplinary. This was written up in the Discilinary Outcomes, everything was included in the BUNDLES. However the ET Judges came up with the judgement they take 5 months to give and then posted it online at https://www.gov.uk/employment-tribunal-decisions/ms-m-myers-v-london-early-years-foundation-2300047-2016. It is evident what their intentions were in doing this. This is to make me out to be the person that LEYF make me out to be during the time they carried out the terrorist acts of radicalisation. Their aim was to dismiss me from my job, making sure I could not get another job working with children, young people and vulnerable adults. How come the Judges did not see this evidence in the bundles along with the Medical Reports that were the Judges Court Management Orders? Even Dr Laura Crawford Medical Reports was enough to show that I experienced discrimination at BIB that impacted on my disabilities, mental and physical. And the http://www.justice.gov.uk/tribunals/employment/claims/responding and the EAT, really think I am going to be a voiceless vulnerable to cover up for the incompetence of the ET Judges, Barrister Samantha Jones and John Fenton to save their profession from becoming a laughing stock like LEYF?  2

How a Lay Person without any Legal Trainings showed up the Professionals: The 22nd December marks the 36th BD of my Son VALDIN ALLAN LEGISTER. And already I’ve lost a few years since “cussed ruthless, manipulative and rule breakers” have made my life a living hell. It’s time I get closures, so I can go back to what I do best. Instead I am STRESSED out, with some “judgemental others” asking me silly questions!

Update: It’s been 3+ years since I returned from burying my MOTHER and transferred to BIB, HOC and New Cross where my life was destroyed. I took my case to the Employment Tribunals, only for them to preside over another miscarriages of justice. I will not be taking it laying down like I did at KINGS. I have had counselling and I will be using the benefits from that to become an advocate of INCLUSION to support others. I am a Blogger and I am hoping to do much more using the media that are available on the internet to help me reach out to others.

I Am The Author Of My Stories!

More Stories From My Childhood Into Adulthood!
 
Since LEYF Nurseries www.leyf.org.uk, decided that they can be playing the fool, thinking they can use me from 1st September 2009 until after I returned from saying goodbye to my MOTHER in January 2014… Then I am going to show them what I am capable of. I started at Fitzrovia on the 1.9.2009 with a Foundation Degree in EarlyYears from the The The Open University. I started with the passion of the Early Years Practitioner who developed the listening ethos after years of studying to enhance knowledge here in the UK. My thirst for knowledge is based on my own personal experiences from childhood. However, some of these experiences were a mystery to me, as I was left to learn most things by using my own initiatives.
I will tell anyone who cares to know that growing up in my household was not the easiest because of my history. I am a one off, unique person who weathered many storms throughout my transitional journeys. Don’t get me wrong, my life was as happy as any other child, even though I was an only girl amongst my 7 bredas. I grew up as a #TomBoy, as free as a bird in the sky, even when I have the strictest of parents. My Mother was more the heavy handed parent when it comes to the discipline. She would beat me for no reasons at all at the blink of an eye. Most of the times I got recued by Dostan Nembhard. That’s why he knows how to pull at my heartsting with his sob stories. I remember one of her favourite reprimand was “don’t let me spit a ground and it dry before you come back”? By now everyone should know that I was/am one of the most stubborn and strong willed person that ever was born.
Today I will focus my story on my breda WALFORD BYRON ALBURNEY Nembhard. For the reasons that are many, but I would like to point out the unique qualities in everyone of my siblings. Maybe then the Bigots like the http://www.justice.gov.uk/tribunals/employment/claims/responding, the establishments and the systems will realise that it is unlawful to discriminate against anyone. All I know about BYRON is that he was not one of those who was blessed with intellectual skills, but what he lacked in intellects, he made up for with his talents and creativity. Don’t get me wrong, he attended Frome School, until he graduated. The story goes he tried to get a job at the Frome Sugar Factory, without any success. He attended the Kenilworth Training Centre where he learned a trade. He was a gifted sportsman, playing cricket and participating in athletics. Phantom Park was the stomping ground where he practiced his craft. He later went onto excell with the Social Development Commission-sdc representing Westmoreland.
I recalled the time he was in the newspaper as Champion Boy of Kenilworth. When he was unable to secure a job, like many from the rural areas, he headed for Town. He last worked at the Stony Hill Heart Academy, before his death on the 27th March 2008. BYRON made a life for himself and his family, when he brought his own property in the Hills of Content Gap St Andrew. He carried his love of farming with him from country and continued. He cultivated coffee, bananas and other provisions on his property.
Everytime I visit home, it was an ocassion for the family to meet up at Ga Ga Street. At times we travelled over to Farm Heights St James to visit Texchus Nembhard. Our love of having close contacts with family was instilled in us by our Father. The story goes that Papa and his Father did not have a very close relationship and he and his siblings drifted apart. Sadly to say there was no reconcilation with Grandpa Charles and some of his children. On the day of his funeral, some of the children turned up when the grave was being moulded up, which left a bad impression on Papa.
I remember my Papa taking us on a pilgrimage to his Family home in St Elizabeth anually. We used to travel on the train and get the bus home from Haddo. Of course all this happened during the happiest times of my life. But then my Papa was struck down by Parkinson’s. This was to be the beginning of the end of my happiness as I would know it, for many reasons. I was sestined to develop childhood traumas from my experiences of my Papa living with Parkinson’s disease and other disablying complications for over 10+ years. But not only that there were other tragedies for my family I lost an uncle from my Papa’s side in 1976, when I was pregnant with my first child. He was brutally murdered at his home one Sunday morning. We hear the news on the radio. Again in 1978 my mother’s only breda Terah was crutally murdered. My grandma took it to heart and didn’t recover. My stories are documented in cyberspace.   
After hearing my Mother’s story in January 2014 from my breda Balis and her best friend Ms Connie Legister, I am now beginning to unravel the life that is mine because of the DNA, I inherited from both sides of my family. Knowing about myself and my family is the catalyst that will help me to heal from the two miscarriages of justice by the Employment Tribunals. But also to be able to bring clarity to my family about some of the things that are/were a mystery to me. That’s why I was not surprised when I read Dr Maria Hudson’s 2012 Research Paper Ref: 01/12 that I am part of. Recommendations were made to http://www.acas.org.uk/researchpapers, but not much seems to have been done in terms of changing the laws. Even http://unison.org.uk/ has been in on the act, getting the government to overturn the law where employees have to pay to take employers to the ET. But believe me, the unions are not averse to selling out to the highest bidders. Unison done it to me and now http://www.voicetheunion.org.uk is still charging me fees even though I resigned from 27th September 2015. 
I am focusing my story on BYON because I lost him at one of the most crucial times in my life. But it was during his illness with Colon Cancer that we chat the most and I learned so much about him. I made a promise to him on his deathbed to help my neice with her education. But what LEYF has done is depriving me of my Basic Human Rights. I have lost 2 bredas, ASHTER on the 9th April 1994 aged 37+ years old and BYRON on 27th March 2008 aged 56+ years old. Both times I was unable to attend the funerals. However I was in the position to help financially. At one stage during the time when LEYF dicriminated against me from the time I returned from burying my Mother and transferred to BIB on the 23rd July 2014, I thought I was not going to celebrate my 56th birthday. Sufferings, death, poverty, etc are linked to why I developed the Chronic Anxiety I was diagnosed with in July 2006. 
 
I am proud to say that I was able to grant BYRON wish to go back home, his birth place of Townhead, Westmoreland o be buried. I am proud of my accomplishment to date, helping my Family. That’s why those at https://www.gov.uk/employment-tribunal-decisions/ms-m-myers-v-london-early-years-foundation-2300047-2016 can rest assured. That I will not be sitting idly by, whilst they tarnish me with another miscarriages of justice. The first one started after the death of BYRON. Strangely enough some of the most crucial laws and legislations came out during the time I was facing discrimination in the first workplace. Between 2004 to 2008 at Kings College Hosdpital NHS Foundation Trust. Inclusive are: Disability Discrimination Act 2005, Childcare Act 2006, Safeguarding Vulnerable Group Act 2006, Equality Act 2006 and Children & Young People Act 2008. This is what LEYF started after the death of my MOTHER. Whether they know it or not this is TERRORISM.
I am a writer and I will be telling my stories. If Winsome Duncan: Author & Public Speaker thinks she is not going to give me my manuscript and pay me what she owes me she is making a sad mistake. She and http://wwww.ryanclement.com/ defrauded me of my savings and then she called The Metropolitan Police Service and Ambulance Service to deprive me of my entitlement to my rights and freedoms. Thats why I did not give up until I got through to http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/report-fraud-about-you decided to give me a voice. Because of further breaches and abuse of their powers when they visit my home and when I visited the Police Station. The Police will have to give an account of why they still allow her to be operating http://www.peachespublications.co.uk as a fraudulent scammer, targetting the vulnerable?
RIP BYON, with God’s help I am able to carry out the promise I made to you on your deathbed. My neice Sara-Kay Nembhard is making you proud. Ambition is the key and the only thing that can stop us is the DNA we were born with.
Thats why my stories are at http://www.mqmentalhealth.org/Mental-Health/Mental-Illness when I was on Medical Suspension as LEYF tried denying me my Basic Human Rights to provide for my basic needs of food, shelter and clothing. My Personal Experiences of Parkinson’s disease – Updated 17.8.2017 from 3.4.2015 can be found at https://plus.google.com/. I have been fundraising for http://www.cruk.org for years. I joined http://www.express.org.uk Mental Health Crusade. I am a http://www.dementiafriends.org.uk.
I am making my contributions with my stories on https://www.facebook.com/public/Mervelee-Myers. Twitter at https://twitter.com/rattynem. I am trying to get my http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBCqloBmT16XFBLAOPdvtFw up and running. But I am tied up trying to clear my name.

My Reflections: Why LEYF Change?

Reflections About How #LEYF Stopped Me From Achieving My Dreams:
 
After years of using my CPPDP, Intellectual Properties and Natural Flare of Creativity to help promote and build LEYF Nurseries www.leyf.or.uk, as a global brand from the time I started on the 1st Septeember 2009 at Fitzrovia Community Nursery. I have never ever stopped in my pursuits of implementing and promoting best inclusive practices that children deserve and parents expect as part of the EYFS. As an advocate of inclusion who is passionate about working in the Early Years Sector from the time I was a Basic School Teacher in Jamaica. I cut my teeth and realised my callings to work with children and young people from the time I done the National Youth Service as a Teaching Assistant at the local Primary School that I attended as a child. Funnily enough, this is the school where I was taught by my Teacher, Ms Una Perry to develop my resilience. The resilience that was going to be my saving grace for the remainder of my life to date.
That’s why I am saying that if my Primary School Teacher was not a local, who knew my parents and of my circumstances. She might not have been able to provide that support network which I needed at such a crucial stage of my transitional development. Refer to the Education Act 1981: Ofsted (www.ofsted.gov.uk/parents) to be responsible for the regulation of day care and out-of-school care. Settings required to meet 14 standards. Standards: 7 (health) 9 (equal opportunity) and 10 (special needs) define minimum standards of care to be provided for children with particular needs. These 14 standards were superseded by the EYFS following the Childcare Act 2008. That’s why I used my intiatives, making the most of my opportunities to enhance knowledge at http://www.open.ac.uk/ceremonies, becoming a graduate before my 50th birthday in 2009.    
As anyone can tell, from me sharing my experiences via my love of writing stories, my life has not always been the easiest at the best of times. However, because of my upbringing and the people who were in my corner, I learned how to weather every storms. I learned from an early age, what early intervention strategies to adopt to help me get through the most difficult phases. Because I learned from early about the triggers, for my disabilities that would make my life unbearable. Therefore, I have had to build a protective wall around myself. Otherwise I would not have survived. Being the kind of person that I am, I guess I was too forward or barefaced as my Father would describe it.
I refused to let anyone take liberty with me. And I ended up paying the price, most times for upholding the old fashioned values and beliefs that are part of my upbringing. That’s why, what I was taught growing up in a Christian home environment in rural Jamaica are my mantras for life. However, I am forever getting judged by others who are not tolerant, and will not take the time to know another person. Employment Equality Regulations: Amended the Race Relations Act 1976 to include a statutory duty on public bodies to promote race equality, good relations between different ethnic groups, and to demonstrate effecriveness of anti-discrimination procedures. In 2003 additional regulations also outlawed certain forms of discrimination due to religious belief
My life is an open BOOK because that’s how I prefer it to be. The Disability Discrimination Act 1995: Introduced the Special Educational Needs Code of Practice. In this, schools are required to develop a Special Educational Needs policy and appoint a Special Needs Coordinator (SENCO) to identify and assess SEND, keep a register of children with SEND and work cooperatively with parents and other professionals. Amended in 2001 (SEND Code of Practice 2001): private nurseries and accredited childminders, amongsts other groups, must ‘have regards’ to the Code of Practice. My son who was born in 1976, was misdiagnosed with multiple disabilities by the professionals. Why, because they did not consider me as my child’s parent and first educator to consult with me. 
That’s why I endeavor to enhance knowledge and empower myself to be able to help and support others. I share my experiences and stories to help others, and my publications can be found in cyberspace. However I am sensitive to the needs of others and will not breach confidentiality. Niether will I knowingly set out to offend anyone, by disclosing sensitive and confidential Data that can ruin and damage lives. Therefore, sometimes I will embellish the truths and tell a few white lies to spare the blushes of others. The fact that I studied with the The Open University acc-gen@open.ac.uk, means that I have had to adhere to British Ethical Guidelines in order to become a graduate. The Childcare Act 2006: Give people with disabilities more rights under law, and further prevents discrimination. Also places duty on public bodies to promote disability equality
If anyone wants to know more about me, I am all over Social Media and I don’t usually take prisoners. Neither will I settle for mediocrity from anyone, even the devine entity that is GOD. Because I am always questioning from GOD straight down to LEYF. That’s why those at https://www.gov.uk/employment-tribunal-decisions/ms-m-myers-v-london-early-years-foundation-2300047-2016, can rest assured that I will be writing about how they presided over two miscarriages of justice. If they are in any doubt about my credibility, they can go find Dr Maria Hudson 2012 Research Paper Ref: 01/12 for the Policy Studies Institute.

Now back to LEYF and the discrimination that was sanctioned by the CO team and the CEO-MBE June O’Sullivan. Who have the audacity to try stitch me up to breach the Social Media Polcy & Procedures on the 28th January 2015 at BIB. On the 7th August 2015 at New Cross BBQ, she could hardly speak to me and mysteriously forgotten my name. But worse was to come at Middlesex University on the 19th September 2015. The CEO-MBE, who lied to me on the 28th January 2015 that she told off BIB for not attending the New Year Staff Party, snubbed me, turning her back on me. When I waited for the appropriate time and challenged her, she claimed that she did not recognise me. Could this by any chance have had anything to do with the meeting involving Dilys Epton, Hilda Miller, Marion Breslin, Deputy Louise Eliasen and Deputy Emma May Reugg at New Cross on the 18th September 2015?
By now everyone should be getting the gist of what have taken place from the 23rd July 2014 at BIB, HOC and New Cross. I will end by saying that I have carried out the terms and conditions of the Contract Sections 1-33 that I signed on the 7th October 2009. The United Nation Convention on the Rights of the Child: Article 14 states that it is a basic entitlement of humans to enjoy their rights and freedoms without discrimination on any grounds. But unfortunately LEYF failed to adhere to their side of the contracts in it’s entirety. Maybe that’s why the contract states: “There are no collective agreements that apply to the terms and conditions of your employment”. I haven’t a clue what that means. But if I was to believe http://www.voicetheunion.org.uk, they advise me that there was nothing to be done. The discrimination is written in the contract.
First and foremost the Contract was not reviewed and updated in line with the Equality Act 2010. The Data Protection Act 1998, the British values, Counter Terrorism & Security Act 2015, Modern Slavery Act 2015. Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000: Prohibited discrimination in the workplace on the grounds of sexual orientation (2003), religion or beliefs (2003) or age (2006). Because when the discrimination, which was started at BIB did not succeed after I realised about the plots. I do what I always done to try and protect myself. I put my defensive practice in place to protect myself, as clarified at the OU from what I was doing for years. I was sent to HOC to be colonised and escorted out by the manager claiming I did not have a PASS and SECURITY was HIGH.
From the HOC, I was sent on a Medical Suspension as they tried to get me out as unfit for work. Special Educational Needs & Disability Act 2001: Created a single equality body, the Equality and Human Rights Commision, responsible for enforcing anti-discrimination rules. Outlawed discrimination on the grounds of religion or beliefs in the provision of goods, services and education. Created duty on authorities to promote equality of opportunities for men and women.  In the meantime I faced a trumped up Disciplinary, from when my Data was changed to make out I was this person they labelled me as in the Outcomes. Imagine after receving the CEO Long Service Awards in October 2014, you faced all manner of allegations, complaints, investigations, transfer, Medical Suspension,  Disciplinary, Appeal and Suspension. Right after coming back from burying your MOTHER.
Only to discover that this was a planned premeditated act of discrimination to dismiss me from my job. This was  from after I returned from saying goodbye to my MOTHER for the last time in January 2014.  On reflections 2013 must have been the year when the rot started at LEYF, because of the number of employees who just resigned and left. Equality Act 2006: Amended parts of the DDA (to include education providers) and the Education Act 1996. Outlawed education providers treating disabled children ‘less favourable’ than others. Institutions required to make ‘adjustments’ (e.g. providing aids) to prevent disabled children being disadvantaged. LEAs and schools to plan for increased assess to schools for disabled pupils. All registered early years providers to have a written SEND policy, a SENCO and make arrangements for staff to participate in training
When I was passed fit for work, they started shitting themselves and got Voice: the union for education professionals to get rid of the Union Rep Darren Mahon. But I have since learned that is how the unions operate because the same happened to me when I was a Member of UNISON. Now the solicitors are showing their true colours as unprofessionals and corrupt. Look no further http://www.bwbllp.com to know how I was tricked by Capsticks, Wimbledon with my first ET Case http://www.justice.gov.uk/tribunals/employment/claims/responding. Because there is no justice for vulnerable employees despite UNISON overturning the government Employment Laws to charge employees to take their employerr to the ET.
Because UNISON only ponder to the big employers where they can get fish head and not their Members. Ask me how I know and I will tell you it happened to me at KINGS. That’s why I am part of Dr Maria Hudson Research: The Experience of Discrimination on Multiple Grounds. Returning to work at New Cross on the 2nd June 2015, led to me facing more discrimination which led to the Nervous Breakdown that led to my resignation. Despite having the Medical Reports that are Court Management Case Orders, the Employment tribunal decided to play God with my life by colluding with LEYF. Now the Employment Appeal Tribunal has done the same thing with their blinkers and hiding behind the Employment Tribunals Act 1996 and Employment Tribunal Law. Safeguarding Vulnerable Group Act 2006 and the Children & Young People Act 2008
However I can’t even blame them too much because I haven’t a clue what Ryan Clement http://www.ryanclement.com/ done with the paperwork he collected to prepare the Appeal. After what Winsome Duncan: Author & Public Speaker have done to me, I refuse to trust another person. Reading through the filth she send to my emails and mobile phone texts and messages, after her 40th birtday party, I can see exactly the type of girl she is. She is using http://www.peachespublications.co.uk, as a front for her scamming business.
Now I am dealing with the Metropolitan Police Service http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/report-fraud-about-you, after the blunder they made, when they were called out to my house. Winsome Duncan intended to harm me if I had turned up at her birthday party because she wanted to take my manuscript. She spent my money on her party and put my name in her groups as party to her fraudulent business. But despite contacting the relevant authorities, establishment and systems they prefer to wait for another case like the collapse of the rape that appeared in the Daily Express www.express.org.uk.
I am following procedures and then I know what my next options are. LEYF will not get away scotch free. I have written my Open Letters and Bates Wells & Braithwaite London know the part they have played in this sordid mess.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sights oh Lord. I don’t have a job, so I am creating my own, to keep the disabilities of having Mental Health Conditions at bay.

When Push Comes To Shove?

Writing is my Therapy! 7th December 2017

I have decided that I am not going to wait to publish a book any more, after what happened to me for obvious reasons. Primarily it might nerve happen, because of the way how my life is panning out. I have been writing and posting online, and I doubt if anyone have taken any note, because I don’t have a following. I have bits of writing I started and never got finished, because of circumstances beyond my control. I have other things in my head that I would like to commit to paper. But the way things are going, I doubt I’ll not be able to do anything to about it. That is, until they disappear back into the recess of my mind and become a faint memory of my life. Therefore I am going to sum up my life on the events of yesterday, into today for publication. New Book Cover by Winsome Duncan 31.10.2017.jpg

In trying to right the wrongs that have been done to me, in particularly in the UK from 2004, by those whom I believe were honourable people. I am at the point in my life when I am slowly but surely losing faith in individuals, the establishments and systems for a variety of reasons going back to 2004. The year 2004 is a catalyst for many reasons that has become the benchmark for how I view my life. In April 2003 I landed what I thought was to be my ideal job at KINGS. I worked with some people who would turn out to play significant roles in my life from thence to now. I will be forever grateful for some of these people, but on the other hand, I wish I never came across others. At the same time I have to admit that each and everyone help to shape my life, whether for good or bad.

I have learned about the fickleness of human nature, and how mean some people can become to their fellow human beings. Some do not do so of their own accords, but the sanctions of others. And to leave you in no doubt about who I am talking, look no further than http://www.leyf.org.uk websites. There you will find the reviews of Julia Elizabeth Gould – 25th March 2016. Ingrid Curuvija Townsend – 29th August at 18:38. Last but not least Jyoti Sharma 12 March. I know Jyoti because she is one of the complainants of the 12th March 2015, and was the Deputy Manager at BIB. I send the manager Lynne Kelly letters relating to Jyoti and Benedicte Siewe because of the impacts of the discrimination from I transferred.

I send Senior HR Dilys Epton an email on the 14th about the impacts of the discrimination, I faced from I returned from burying my Mother. This was after Isabella Glen came to do the investifgation on the 13th March as a result of the premeditated complaints. I know there was going to be an investigation because Manager Michelle gave the game away on the 11th. That was when she came to pull the wool over the Agency Staff Ricky’s eyes. Ricky, who reported inapopriate practice as a “whistleblower a Protected Act” under the Equality Act 2010. Michelle came to investigate about the chef, Gloria and her daughter because of more premeditated planned discrimination. All this was the results of the debacle at Rumi’s wedding, orchestrated by the BIB team led by Benedicte Siewe.

LEYF knows how they are perverting the course of justice operating Modern SLAVERY preactices. This happens in the HOC where I was sent from the 17th-27th March. This is right under the nose of the UK government at the Houses of Parliament. That’s why I am intent on getting a Petition started and have been in contact with http://www.gov.uk/Number 10. Some people will crucify you like how Judas Iscariot crucified Jesus Christ. However I am positive that my early upbringing, where it takes a village to raise a child left an indelible mark on me. That’s why I know I am the person who I am today. I know without a shadow of a doubt that my naiveté, trust and beliefs in the goodness of others led to unscrupulous persons and employers taking advantage of me for their own unbiased preconceived notions of who they think I am. Scan_20161204

I realised that there are those who feel threatened by me for one reason or another. And will set out to tear me down and hurt me for reasons I am unable to comprehend. Therefore I have to revisit my past and reflect on my life of struggles from the time my father was struck down with Parkinson’s http://www.parkinson.org.uk. That’s why I have to be asking what have changed, when, where, why and how? My entire life changed in the matter of moments that it took for my Father’s sickness that is part of my DNA to take control. This was going to last for the next 10+ years and bring about the transitional changes that were to have the most profound impacts on my life.

I changed from this Tom Boy, who was capable of doing just about everything my brothers could, to a nervous wreck. But I honestly didn’t know the reasons for the changes at that time, until much, much later. All I know for certain was, I was no longer my Father’s little girl who was secure in the love of my family. I was entering into the transitional developmental stages of the pubescent girl, who was lost and with my hormones all over the place.  There is enough information about my struggles, therefore I won’t be repeating myself. However I would advice every parents to gain the knowledge they need to tell their children about the birds and the bees at least. Because knowledge is power.

I will move forward to yesterday when my life seems to have come crashing down once again. I don’t know if anyone notice I am taking sabbatical from social media, but yes I have important matters to get sorted. Therefore, I will be keeping a low profile as I prioritise what is urgent to getting my life back together. I am trying to capture the data I need to support my Fight4justice campaign. Because LEYF and the ET http://www.justice.gov.uk/tribunals/employment/claims/responding will not be getting away with what they have done to ruin my life. I have been trying to sort out all aspects of my life, psychologically, physically, emotionally, mentally and holistically.

As usual I have to set the pace for my achievable accomplishments, knowing I have a duty of care to my husband. I am accessing physio to help me overcome or manage and control my physical disabilities. I joined Kings College NHS South London & Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust RADAR-CNS as part of my contribution into research into Mental Health Conditions – Depression. I am getting rid of those persons from my circles who have become burdens and draining me of my energy and vitality to lead a normal life. And basically getting on with living instead of merely existing. This is the second time that the ET presided over a miscarriage of justice. You can find Dr Maria Hudson 2012 Research Paper Ref: 01/12 that was recommended to ACAS: research@asas.org.uk or http://www.acas.org.uk/researchpapers.

That’s why I was in for a big shock when my husband started acting out of character. But once again I don’t know why I am surprised or shocked. I know he don’t understand half of what is happening to me. I am sure sometimes he must be feeling like he is letting me down, by not been able to protect me. He is a man of principle, but what the ET done causes him to lose his trust in the system. To make matters worse what the barrister http://www.ryanclement.com/. Winsome Duncan http://www.peachespublications.co.uk whom I meet at http://WWW.BLACKCARDBOOK.COM introduced me to the barrister. The fact that they conned him of his saving, just leave he more frustrated.

I tried reasoning with him that if he starts treating me the way others have done and are doing, I will be affected. I will only tell him as much as he needs to know. Yesterday I was working to finish paperwork when he came into the living room. Thinking he wanted space to watch the TV, I was clearing up when he just flipped. There was no reasoning with him, I tried getting him to talk to my friend but he was having none of it. He wants me to drop everything, because I lost the ET case. But to me, I did not lose the ET case, I was robbed again. And I will not stop until every single person involved is brought to book.

My friend Winnie was giving me tips to avert the occurrence of the situation. I take her advice to stop working. But there is no way I am going to pretend that I won’t carry on with the work I have to do to clear my name. Neither will I be apologising for something that’s none of my making. No one knows what I have been going through from the time I got back from burying my Mother. This time I have the mobile phone on when Balis called, so we had a long chat. By this time I am practically useless at carrying out normal day to day activities, so I went to lie down. Then Joy called and we chat for hours. She knows Tom a little bit and knows what he is capable of. Later I see him standing at the door, asking me to go and get something to eat.

Don’t get me wrong, I know he is concerned. I tidy the kitchen, eat and went back to finish my work. Trevor called and we chat, he said his dad is getting rid of his pent up emotions so I must not pay him any mind. But what I want everyone to understand is that I am already stuffed like a Christmas turkey. Because of how the ET have gone about posting the judgement online at https://www.gov.uk/employment-tribunal-decisions/ms-m-myers-v-london-early-years-foundation-2300047-2016. If anything should happen to my husband they will be hauling and pulling me all over the place. Trevor was mad when he heard about Winsome Duncan and Ryan Clement.

Trevor promised that he is going to talk to his dad, hopefully he understands why I just can’t drop the matter. But Trevor called back when the magnitude of what I told him about the deceits of Winsome and Ryan the scammers sunk in. He gave me his professional advice, the reasons why LEYF Solicitors Samantha Jones wanted to know if he has Legal Trainings. Because John Fenton http://www.personnelconsultancy.com, LEYF representatives right up until the day of the ET case was not a lawyer. He had to come clean and that’s only one of the reasons for the adjournment. So Barrister Jones then decided to pull a sickie knowing she did not prepare the ET case or even looked at the paperwork.

So she was buying time and the ET Judges allowed her to get away and colluded with LEYF to pervert the course of justice.  Whilst I am working Tom, comes to find out what I am doing and I could see he is contrite. I tell him not worry and I don’t want us to be living the life I seen him portrayed in the morning. He went to bed and I get on with my work, writing so I can eventually put my plans into actions. I was determined to finish and I did. I went to turn off my phone and see a Group and I know I did not set up any such Group and only then did the tears come. At least I can believe I am not alone. 20171206_233202.jpg

I got up this morning and done the usual. But I make the conscious efforts not to turn on any of the ICT equipment or switch any of my mobiles on. I need to get other things done. I am like that when I need to focus. I speak to Winnie again this morning, she has always been my support from the time we worked at KINGS. After reading the newspaper, I decided to clean the bathroom. It’s sparkling clean and I couldn’t help remembering the time Alev visited my home. She wanted help when she started doing her studies for her Foundation Degree and I had just completed mine at http://www.open.ac.uk/ceremonies. I studied from 2004 to 2010 in total with the OU, but decided to become a graduate in May 2009 for obvious reasons.

That was the month of my birthday and I was able to see my dreams become reality, if its even years after my youngest son. Augusta Foster told Alev that I had completed my studies and she contacted me. I told Alev about the way Augusta was treating me and how disillusioned I was feeling before going on my holidays in July 2009. Alev told me her organisation was recruiting, I applied and the rest is history. After cleaning the bathroom, I went to have a rest, I done my exercise to strengthen my back and leg muscles. Then I remember Dandy and got my Oregano. I can swear by its power to soothe. I had a deep relaxing sleep and got up just in time to do the cooking. I am refreshed and revitalised thanks to the effects of the essential oil.

Now I am writing this up as yet another of my transitional journey. However I know this is therapy that will help me back to being the person who I know I am. I refuse to be that caricature of that other person LEYF and the ET Judges would like me to become to justify them abusing me and breaching my Basic Human Rights not to be discriminated against. I am not afraid to show me in my many moods, because I have always been honest and open about my deficits and limitations. That’s yet another reason why I am gutted that Winsome Duncan and her cohorts could betray my trusts and now trying to get me sectioned under the Mental Health Act. Then like the ET Judges they will say that I am not a crdible witness to rob me of my rights.  20171206_233152.jpg
