Cllr John Warren, leader of Brent Conservatives has responded to Philip Grant's recent guest post on the Cara Davani case, which Philip sent to the leaders on Brent Council, LINK with the following additional questions, copied to all Brent councillors:
1. Why did Christine Gilbert,as line
manager, not take disciplinary action against Ms Davani following the
conclusion of the Watford Employment Tribunal case? The judgment LINK handed down
was " brutal " against Ms Davani......members should have a read.
2.Did the Gilbert/ Davani / Butt
relationships have any impact on this saga?
3.How will future Brent disciplinary cases
be affected by the way Ms Davani was not disciplined? Will not Brent staff be
able to use this example...and ask how action can be reasonably taken against
them in the light of the decision on Ms Davani. Surely this raises the bar
very high as to when the Council can take disciplinary action against any
member of staff?
4.Did the Council consider,or not ,whether Ms
Gilbert had acted reasonably in her decision not to initiate disciplinary
action against Ms Davani?
5. Should Brent 's auditors include this
Rosemarie Clarke/ Cara Davani case as a " public interest " report in
the final accounts for 2015/2016?
I have written this week to our
auditors making a detailed argument that this should be included .I urge
anybody else who agrees with me to write to.....

6. Why did the " Pavey HR review ,
" which was supposed to learn lessons from the Rosemarie Clarke case, not
even look at the case. How are you supposed to learn lessons .... if you ignore
the case that was responsible for the review in the first place!
