L’agenzia infermiera riferisce il collega per aver versato acqua sul paziente con disabilità intellettiva, informa gli altri membri del cambio di cambio che si era verificato l’incidente, quindi costretto a scusarsi con il membro dello staff originale per aver violato la loro privacy!

    1. Main article is about their court case alleging penalisation for reporting the event. Relevant quotes:

      >At the Labour Court hearing, the HSE acknowledged the incident Mr Foy witnessed in April 2020, which was the pouring of a cup of water over a patient by a female colleague who was directly employed at the facility, amounted to an assault.

      >It said he followed all the correct procedures in the way he reported the incident to management, but **breached GDPR guidelines by also reporting it to two other colleagues coming on duty at the end of his shift.**

      […]

      >He began to get fewer hours, however, and fewer premium shifts. He said he was told this was in part because the colleague he reported, who had been moved to a different area of the facility but was employed there, said she did not want him rostered to work with her and this was facilitated by senior management

      […]

      >He was, he told the court, **pressured to apologise for the privacy breach to the staff member he had reported** and, fearing he would lose more work, had to agree to undertake GDPR training.

      So, asshole staff member pours water over a patient with an intellectual disability, and the whistleblower is forced to apologise for breaching *their* privacy by telling other staff members about the event? What the actual fuck.

      Pure dystopia. That poor patient, and the person trying to help is punished.

      The article is blocked for me but I presume the employee did the right thing originally by reporting the incident appropriately? Then undid the good work by telling their colleagues about it? Yeah, that would be a problem unfortunately
