Hi everyone.

Feeling a bit distressed from the appeal situation right now. Apparently I had completed the appeals form wrong and do not meet any of what they are asking me to "address".

Please excuse the excursiveness of this email, I am relaying to you the communication I am having thus far. If you don't want to read it then that is fine.

Below is the email stream that I had to endure and had unfortunately triggered my trauma of the recent past.

 

Dear Mr Lovell,

In my letter dated 29 May 2020, you were advised that the deadline for submitting your appeal was 10 June 2020. This was following two previous extensions to the time allowed to complete this action.

It has now been more than three months since you first advised that you would be requesting an MSSC Appeal Panel Hearing.

To date, you have not stated which of the four grounds you are basing your appeal on.

The four grounds are:

• The appellant demonstrates that key information taken into consideration was demonstrably false and, would have had a material impact on the decision
• The appellant demonstrates that key information was not taken into consideration during any enquiry and, would have had a material impact on the decision
• That SCC policy was substantially not followed and in a way that would have materially affected the decision 
• That the original outcome was, without good reason, inconsistent with similar cases    

Without this information the MSSC Panel will not be able to hear your Appeal.

Please complete the attached form and return by Monday, 15 June 2020 at the latest. Otherwise you appeal request will be closed.

Yours sincerely.

 

My response:

Hi 

I did send that form back at the very start. I will attach it again as per originally sent. 

I am still waiting for my advocate to represent and provide a full statement of my appeal as I am not in a mental position to do so. Also with the covid crisis it is expected and unpredicted that we had this delay. Our health and welfare came first from the virus grasp. 

I will keep you updated regarding advocate.

Resolution manager response to this:

Dear Mr Lovell,

I have your form, there is no need to re-send the same form. The form as it stands, does not provide the required information, as it does not demonstrate how your case relates to the four grounds.

Yours sincerely,

 

My response after this:

Then I do not understand what to do and how to do the form.

No matter what I say My autism will still be the barrier for knowing these processes which is why I fail to succeed at any appeal. I am at a highest disadvantage and I may as well give up.

I will make this clear.

My autism is always going to be challenging for some. Those who I have interacted with do no like my autism and I have been dismissed on the basis of my autism. It is that simple. They have covered up the fact that I have interpersonal communication issues and they do not want to address them by providing the necessary adjustments and just allow me to do my job as an instructor. I have not breached any policy that causes safeguarding or anything that is lawbreaking. My criminal record has always been squeaky clean and I am the safest amongst the youngsters. I do have grounds of discrimination to go against the charity, but I choose not to. I am making prosecution plans against Jeff Kormack alone as He was responsible for discrimination clearly evident in email communications to the AO regarding my “capacity” with my autism and my HIV status. It is down right criminal that people like him are allowed to stay and others with disabilities and other conditions suffer in silence or get kicked out for speaking out. It is their human right!!

I ask to hold off all proceedings of appeal until I get advocacy. This is according to law and I have the right to defer the appeal. Please defer the appeal until you hear from Advocate to take on my case. I have no idea what to do and it shows I got the appeal form wrong. Failure to accept this request might end up leading to legal action and it will be under the instruction of my advocate barrister to instruct that, not me.

I am still feeling very raw. Typing up that last email made me feel very raw, the trauma came back as if it was fresh and feeling like it happened the day before. I am still waiting psychiatrist referral to SLAM and obtain therapy and EMDR therapy for my PTSD. I am constantly being triggered by still talking about this on how disability unfriendly the Sea Cadets actually is. Stop being so blind to the “generality” of diversity. Stop missing the “cracks”. Because there is no diversity. I have heard constantly self opinionated members who do not like the fact someone is transgender, or autistic, or gay. They “banter” and it actually insults heavily.

I am speaking up on what I experienced and I do not like it. I chose to pay my duty for the service for the CADETS and NOT the pleasure of the staff or the staff that are in charge.

I am having a major anxiety that I may not have my appeal heard and succeeded. I am still trying to push for advocacy and help with representation to appeal on my behalf. I may never get closure so I can finally start to heal from the damage that some of these people have done to my self esteem and self confidence as an individual in society that constantly rejects and cut my wings off!!

 

PLEASE keep up the signatures!! We are now at 334 signatures!! That is an astonishing achievement in my eyes on a petition like this; especially when I am driving this petition on my own at the helm, with you all behind me standing with me!!

Let us make a difference and push this change!! We are making an impression already!!

 

Much love to you all and thank you!! <3
