Declan waits for Newham Council to confirm that he is through with their complaints procedure and that he can now go to the Local Government Ombudsman citing unfair treatment

Related blog post 25 July 2016: Complaint to Mayor of Newham Sir Robin Wales: Newham Council stonewalls Declan despite our local councillor's support for his complaint against Active Newham for unfair treatment

Thank you for taking my call and confirming that I may not be informed of Active Newham's next befriending training session, or asked for personal information to facilitate a befriending match up, because the session will be "bespoke to the person who needs befriending".

For almost two months Declan has received one excuse after another as to why he has not been informed of Active Newham's next befriending training session, but the above yesterday from the manager of Newham Council's Corporate Complaints is without doubt the most nonsensical. It may also be Newham Council's final word on the matter. I have found this in one of Active Newham's newsletters: "After attending the Newham's Volunteers befriending Induction and training, Sajid was introduced to an older person - Mr Porter, based on the information he provided at the session." Now that makes sense! And this is the first Declan has heard of a befriending Induction, which renders the Council incredulous from the start.

Declan has been waiting since yesterday afternoon for this manager to confirm that he is through with Newham Council's complaints procedure and that he can now go to the Local Government Ombudsman citing unfair treatment. So much for his complaint yesterday morning to Mayor of Newham Sir Robin Wales, which he was hoping would bring this saga to an amicable conclusion (see my previous blog post). It would seem that this was wishful thinking on Declan's part as someone who is part-time employed as the managing director of Network for Church Monitoring, notwithstanding that N4CM boasts a long list of distinguished Honorary Associates that includes two Nobel laureates.

Complaint to Newham Mayor Sir Robin Wales: Newham Council stonewalls Declan despite our local councillor's support for his complaint against Active Newham for unfair treatment

Related blog post 5 July 2016: Will a Newham councillor take up Declan's complaint against Active Newham for unfair treatment?

Why would Declan be prevented from offering his befriending services for free in our local community if it wasn't because he is part-time employed as the managing director of Network for Church Monitoring? Last Wednesday he attended a meeting with three senior members of Newham Council staff. It was explained to him that the previous email he received from the Council was not intended to undermine our local councillor's support for his complaint against Active Newham for unfair treatment, and that they would issue a further email the next day.

The Council will not allow me to publish their emails but their second email is a stonewall that would put pay to Declan's second job aspirations if he were not now thinking the Local Government Ombudsman with this email of complaint to (Labour) Newham Mayor Sir Robin Wales:

Following my previous Newham Council blog post, this N4CM blog has been decimated (WITH UPDATE)


UK Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ)



I have not lost all of my images, but I might as well have given the few that remain on this blog. I have even lost the image for my disclaimer on the upper right-hand column. This morning I have written to TinyPic, which hosts most if not all of these images:

20 July 2016

Dear TinyPic,

I can't access TinyPic on any of my computers and all the images that I have on my blog are not appearing either.

At first I thought that your website was under attack, but when I opened it on the Tor browser, there you were! I was even able to login and see all my images.

This is a screenshot of what my browsers get when I try to access your site: http://prntscr.com/bv6ezk

This is a screenshot of the Tor browser showing everything is normal from another IP address: http://prntscr.com/bv6h82

And this is a screenshot showing my decimated blog: http://prntscr.com/bv6hhn

Please can you resolve this situation.

Sincerely,

Lola Heavey

Update 20 July 2016 (1.49pm): I have not received a reply from TinyPic, but the images are back.

HEAVEY v. THE UNITED KINGDOM

COMMUNICATION SUBMITTED FOR CONSIDERATION UNDER THE FIRST OPTIONAL PROTOCOL TO THE INTERNATIONAL COVENANT ON CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS

Paragraph 12 of Declan's updated complaint to the United Nations re the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ)

12. It is important to underscore that the discriminatory surveillance suffered by the Applicant and his wife is not an isolated event. Rather, it is emblematic of a larger pattern of surveillance by law enforcement officials in the UK that has been well-documented by international and domestic human rights bodies. For example, GCHQ's Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) specialises in the "4 D's": deny, disrupt, degrade, deceive. It has been branded by the press as the spy agency's "deception unit". Though its existence was secret until 2014, JTRIG has developed a distinctive profile in the public understanding, after documents from NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed that the unit had engaged in "dirty tricks" like deploying sexual "honey traps" designed to discredit targets, launching denial-of-service attacks to shut down Internet chat rooms, pushing veiled propaganda onto social networks and generally warping discourse online. Previous reporting on GCHQ established its focus on what it regards as political radicalism. Beyond JTRIG's targeting of Anonymous, other parts of GCHQ targeted political activists and groups deemed to be "radical", even monitoring human rights NGOs. Simon Davies, president of the London-based Privacy International, asks: "If spying on human rights NGOs isn't off limits for GCHQ, then what is?"

Our non-access to our website continues into a second day

Related blog post this morning: Will a Newham councillor take up Declan's complaint against Active Newham for unfair treatment?

This afternoon:



This evening:


Will a Newham councillor take up Declan's complaint against Active Newham for unfair treatment?

We have had a rough time of it since I attended Active Newham's volunteer induction workshop almost two months ago, on 4 May. Active Newham is commissioned by Newham Council to deliver leisure, sports and volunteering opportunities in Newham.

I had no sooner returned from the workshop that afternoon than I lost access to the internet on my laptop into the next day (see here). This was followed after midnight by the unprecedented vandalization of this blog (see here and here). A few days later I came across in a gmail folder the bank alert below suggesting that Declan's N4CM bank account had been hacked (see here), which was followed by our loss of access to our Church and State website (see here). On 25 May Facebook issued me with a three-day block for the second time in six days (see here). And all this has been trumped by the Greater London Authority-commissioned St Mungo's blatantly flaunting the Data Protection Act against us week in week out since we met its TST Service Development Manager Kathleen Sims at our home on 22 April (see previous blog post, Heavey v St Mungo's: Filed at Central London County Court on 4 July 2016).

I finally secured a long-term volunteer position two weeks ago but Declan hasn't been so lucky. Four weeks ago, he lodged a complaint with Newham Council's Corporate Complaints Department against Active Newham's Volunteer Service for unfair treatment. All the indications from his dealings with Active Newham since are that he will have to escalate his complaint to the Local Government Ombudsman in the next few weeks, if a Newham councillor is unwilling to take up his case. This is Declan's complaint of 8 June that the Council's Corporate Services has yet to even acknowledge receiving:



Who would have thought it would be so difficult for one's husband to offer his befriending services for free in his local community?



Related blog post 22 June 2016: Financial Ombudsman: Adjudicator acknowledges bank alert "would've been of great concern" but then dismisses Declan's complaint for unfair treatment!!

The removal of our flat door in 2012 pales into insignificance when compared to the concern the alert above caused.

Heavey v St Mungo's: Filed at Central London County Court on 4 July 2016


County Court at Central London, Royal Courts of Justice

On 16 December 2015 the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) upheld the Applicant's complaint against the Ministry of Justice for breach of the Data Protection Act 1998. The ICO found that the Ministry had mishandled the Applicant's subject access request for a copy of the GLA's application to contest the court's jurisdiction, filed at Central London County Court on 14 October 2015 (see Annex 18, pp. 57-59).

- Excerpt from Declan's updated complaint to the United Nations, para. 38(ii)

Perhaps Declan will have to go to battle again with the Ministry of Justice over documents filed with the Central London County Court (see quote above), this time in respect of the claim he filed this afternoon against Greater London Authority (GLA)-commissioned St Mungo's. He gave up on waiting for St Mungo's CEO Howard Sinclair to respond to his email request of 16 June for an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) to resolve the homeless charity's blatant flaunting of the Data Protection Act against us week in week out since we met St Mungo's TST Service Development Manager Kathleen Sims at our home on 22 April. Sinclair has also failed to reply to Declan's Letter Before Claim of 31 May, which in fact only succeeded in making a bad situation a lot worse (see further below Particulars of Claim, para. 3). It's now up to the Court Office to issue proceedings on Declan's behalf.

Heavey v St Mungo's

Brief details of claim


The Claimant has a Support Agreement, dated 15 April 2016, which requires the Defendant to ensure that any notes recorded from meetings are action notes, and that these are brief notes recording any actions agreed by all parties in the meetings. The Claimant avers that the Defendant has serially breached the Data Protection Act when processing his personal information. The Defendant has repeatedly uploaded notes from the Claimant's first two meetings that are not action notes as agreed, that stand as inaccurate and false (see particulars of claim, para. 4), and that have not been kept up to date where necessary. The Defendant has not replied specifically to the Claimant's letter before claim dated 31 May 2016, or responded to his alternative dispute resolution (ADR) request dated 16 June 2016. The Claimant is therefore making an application to the Court for a declaration that the Defendant has acted unlawfully in holding or uploading information about him relating to his support, and an order pursuant to Section 14 of the Data Protection Act that it is to rectify any and all information that it has on him and adopt each and every proposed supplementary provision to his Support Agreement 2016 which are cumulatively aimed at preventing these violations from reoccurring. The Claimant seeks damages for distress and costs.

Value

The Claimant expects to recover not more than £1,000.



Particulars of Claim

1. The Defendant's Clearing House matched the Claimant and his wife to a Family Mosaic property as clients of the Mayor of London's Housing First programme. They were provided with a renewable two-year supported tenancy on 17 May 2014, with voluntary support being provided by SHP. In March 2015, following the termination of Housing First, they were referred back to the Clearing House. They have been provided with a renewed (like for like) tenancy that started on 16 May 2016, with their support being provided by the Defendant's Tenancy Sustainment Team ("TST") since 1 April 2016.

2. On 25 February 2016 the Claimant met with the Defendant's CEO, Howard Sinclair. A subsequent series of emails culminated in a Support Agreement dated 15 April 2016, wherein it is agreed that support is voluntary and assurance is provided by TST Service Development Manager Kathleen Sims that "any notes recorded from our meetings will be action notes, these will be brief notes recording any actions agreed by all parties in the meetings" (see Supporting Documents ("SD"), p. 21).

3. In a Letter Before Claim dated 31 May 2016 addressed to Mr Sinclair, the Claimant took issue with inaccurate case notes from his and his wife's meeting on 22 April 2016 with Ms Sims (SD, p. 10). In an email dated 2 June 2016, the Claimant took issue with Ms Sims' inadequate rectification of his personal data and inaccurate new data from his meeting on 27 May 2016 with TST Support Worker Paul Keenan (SD, p. 5). In an email dated 4 June 2016, the Claimant sought agreement from Mr Sinclair on supplementary provisions to his Support Agreement 2016 (SD, p. 4). And in an email dated 10 June 2016, the Claimant took issue with second amended case notes, both Ms Sims' inadequate rectification of his personal data and Mr Keenan's retention of false data against him (SD, p. 1).

4. The Claimant avers that the Defendant has serially breached the Data Protection Act. The Defendant has repeatedly uploaded notes from the Claimant's first two meetings that are not action notes as agreed, that stand as inaccurate (misleading without interpretation) in respect to the first meeting, that are false (retention of false data) in respect of the second meeting, and that have not been kept up to date where necessary. The Defendant has also not replied specifically to the Claimant's Letter Before Claim, or responded to his ADR request (SD, p. 13). Please find attached a draft order of the order that the Claimant is asking the Court to make. Alternatively, the Claimant asks that leave to appeal be granted.
