      Good good.

      Weird stigma in the country sometimes where to be off sick we have to lock ourselves away. Last time I was off sick I went food shopping and was worried someone would see me. Then, naaaa I got to eat.

      This person listens to people of all ages talk about sexual abuse all day, interacts with the most disgusting people in society, probably has to grade images and watch horrible media to produce court evidence. Because she’s a Sgt it means she’s likely reviewing other people’s work at the same time. All whilst making extremely high stress decisions about removing kids from homes, arresting people etc.

      Did they just want her business to fail too? Cancel on agreed events? Stop doing the washing up?

      I’ve worked in this area and there were consistently people off sick due to stress and mental health caused by what they are exposed to at work. Very little prevention and support in place so people go pop then their work is dumped on other team members. Repeat.

      With teams like that you’re there because you care and you want to protect children. I get people are anti police but people on these teams mean it and absorb a lot of trauma. She wanted a healthy happy outlet and the court backed her as they should

      Going to expect auto hate on this though just because of the headline and initial emotions

      Fully expecting the duality of the UK to emerge here. Mental health must be taken seriously … Until it comes to a police officer in a highly stressful and traumatic role.

      A lot of people are projecting their own norms and understanding to the issues here. That’s fine but be aware of the flip side

      I can’t quite put the words together to describe how completely insane this ruling seems.

      It’s essentially saying that you should have the right to additional work/income if you are signed off for long-term sick leave.

      So police officers who are signed off sick should get more income than those that are doing their job?

      Always glad to see my taxes going to worthy causes. Perfect.

      Reading the comments I don’t have to much of an issue with the officer winning the case my issue is how is the amount justified is it lost earnings or is this punitive? If it’s further lost earning can we not just give them the job back?

      But it was about her disability, plus when would she return to being an officer, if she’s running a business she’s not going to have the time to recover and then just give it all up and go back to being a police officers if anything the constant reminder of the difference in jobs would hinder her from returning.

      If she was that unwell they should of retired her off, had a good payoff then invest in her new business everyone would win
