Dozens of staff at a Glasgow Women's Aid branch claim they have been 'suspended' for whistleblowing, leaving vulnerable service users without support.

The Easterhouse hub has been moved to reduced service after 13 women and children’s support workers were told to stay home while investigations into claims of bullying are carried out. Trade union Unite has demanded urgent action over the decision, warning that vulnerable service users are being directed to an emergency phone number and women and children who were receiving 1-2-1 support left with no support.

“Unite will stand up for our members’ jobs, terms, and conditions, but also the vulnerable women and children who need access to this lifeline service in greater Easterhouse.” Unite industrial officer, Linda Wilson, added: “Glasgow East Women’s Aid in effect has been closed for six weeks. One of Scotland’s most deprived communities and its most vulnerable residents are being denied access to a lifesaving service due to the suspension of our whistleblowing members.
