Here we are almost three years on … I wonder if anyone can persuade Ian Thomas to show what he has done to utilise the thousands who he said wanted to help in a similar way ... more than 48,000 days of voluntary help. Voluntary help offered to Ian Thomas (he said) - 2 days x 3 months x thousands ..................................................................................................................................................... Meeting with Paul Lakin, Leader of RMB Council on Tuesday 16.12.14 at 5 pm “If there is sufficient time – I have a very specific proposal (which might be too radical at this moment in time).” The proposal was to work voluntarily for two days a week for three months to help improve communication. Ian Thomas, without being asked to, intervened and said: “There are thousands of people who want to help in a similar way”. …………………………………........................................…………………… Paul Lakin invited Ian Thomas to the meeting on 16 December 2014 Ian Thomas had been recently appointed without any equality in the process, supposedly temporarily as Strategic Director of Children and Young People’s Services (CYPS) in Rotherham. Ian was possibly appointed by the dictate of Malcolm Newsam, who was also appointed by dictate as a supposedly Independent Commissioner of Children’s Services in Rotherham For more see: http://real2.org/meeting-with-paul-lakin-tuesday-16-12-14-a-very-specific-proposal/
