Apparently they do actually do some good work, but it's in spite of the management, rather than because of them.<br /><br />The staff who actually make the calls to victims of crime are given very strict time limits and targets for how many people they have to call each day. A good proportion of the staff don't bother actually calling most of the people that they say they have (anyone not reached is sent a letter instead - and printing off the letter is a lot quicker than making the call then writing it all up, hence better for your stats) and when my wife suggested a great way to reduce the number of people they would have to call (i.e. a way to identify the people who really need help rather than just everyone) she was told that it would make the company look bad as they'd be making less calls. Never mind that they'd be giving better help, and to the people who need it - that wasn't important. <br /><br />That's why my wife left - it was all about the targets and the victims that were meant to be helped were almost viewed as an impediment that got in the way.<br /><br />(Incidentally, much of the actual counselling that they provide is done by unpaid volunteers)Rational Anarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13002966782423667010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4471993488623327927.post-29480514688904177752011-09-27T11:30:17.714+01:002011-09-27T11:30:17.714+01:00I'd pay to watch, Ronnie.

Sounds like ...Nails and Heads Obo, Nails and Heads. Sounds like it will be a return to the 18th Century, when debtors were put in prison to "Pay off" their debts by working with their pay going on food, living expenses and the debts never being paid off. <br />What next, inviting the public in the gawp at them? Encouraging the residents of Holloway to whore themselves to pay off Victim Support wages?Ronnie Soakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619423911526952408noreply@blogger.com
