The FOI has come back. I am amazed they actually have replied giving some detail. So from information on this thread, they located the specific event.
TL;DR, 4 groups. 3 passed, one deferred. No money paid out to the deferred group as was suggested in this thread.
Definitely not what was reported locally.
Reported as in email from the CoC on the matter? Or reported as in people just discussing it by rumour?
Reported by the staff involved.
Not quite what it says. Information not held does not equal no money paid out.
It didnāt say information not held. It explicitly says no compensation paid
It says:
No compensation was paid to the complainant.
āNo compensationā does not mean that an alternative course wasnāt paid for, which is what has been alleged and reported by those involved.
Iād still call paying for another course compensation though?
Possibly semantics. To us, yes, same end result. But to HQ and the FOI team? Different enough to not be something to mention.
This.
Fair one, must have read the wrong bit
The feedback reads to me as though no compensation was paid at the meeting, but whether compensation was paid at any other stage isnāt information that is held by HQAC.
āCompensationā to me would be a direct payment, discount, or service. If there was a resolution of āsend us the invoiceā I could see that being categorised differently.
Agreed. Reimbursement isnāt compensation.
