Ask to see a copy of your HR record. You can do it either through the normal procedure or the Data Protection Act (DPA) with a Subject Access Request. Sometimes it's faster with a DPA requeste because there are deadlines, there might not be deadlines with the normal procedures. BTW- I've been a reader for over a year but never commented before. I was thinking of you on Friday when I had a car door opened into my cycle path and I hit the door. I was injured and badly dazed. It happened outside of a London police station and an officer came out and said he had called an ambulance. I waited for 40 minutes and my friend who came and found me found was told an ambulance wasn't called so the police offered to call one then. I could limp so we took a cab to the A&E. I know how you feel about the walking wounded tying up ambulance time.
