Pretty sure we shouldn’t be posting originals to WHQs… Scanned copy from the OCs email verifying they’ve seen it has all that’s ever been needed down here!
This is spot on though! Assume that anything to send to wing will get lost, so keep copies/records!
Interesting. I can’t think HQAC would say that, but happy to be corrected. (I’m not questioning you though, I know what some WHQs are like )When I’ve done DBS’s for other orgs they specifically say not to post it to them, but to come in with it, get it photocopied so I never have to loose sight of the original.
Don’t take it personally. I’m starting to think hatred of volunteers and conceitedness have moved from “desirable” to “essential” columns in the job spec.
I have no access to anything, including the sqn general email
It’s amazing if we get a reply from him in our staff chat when we ask a question. We still haven’t been told if/when we can go to the Sqn to check how it is and getting it ready to go back to F2F
I have been told that copies are allowed, either photocopy or picture from phone and emailed off from OC’s email as long as it’s seen by OC and confirmed genuine documents.
Nothing is overkill when it comes down to WHQ I will make sure I take scans or pictures of anything which has been sent off and note days and times
Thanks for the words my fellow usernames, I am determined to become staff legal in this org once again so I’m gonna start hounding my OC and work my way up the food chain
Email him direct on all addresses. I personally only do emails as there is a trail for everyone, after getting into a conversation about conversations at work in the early email days.
There is a bit of me which says in the current climate we should all be cutting each other some slack. There are things that are far more important going on at the moment and everyone is and has been affected differently and this is only voluntary for us. If only HQAC and all permanent bods could grasp this point.
If you know where he lives, go round and see him, not to have it out, that’s undignified and only for crappy soap operas and so called reality programmes, but to work this through. A couple of minutes of proper talking could sort this out, rather than poncing around on SM etc and getting flustered.
people keep complaining it’s hot, but I was considering wearing a hoody here this morning when it was overcast with dark grey clouds! I was actually surprised last weekend when the Met Office said it was the hottest day of the year after it definitely wasn’t particularly warm where I was
