Agreed. I like your 'while traumatised phase' by the way - curiously, NHS complaints procedures seem to me, to want 'traumatised people to concisely describe events they do not yet properly understand' as well, which is deeply illogical. https://www.dignityincare.org.uk/Discuss-and-debate/Dignity-Champions-forum/They-Just-Cant-See-It/761/ … from Jan 2015.
That sounds like a fair balance to me. It's not reasonable to tar everyone with the same brush (though many complainants go through a 'phase' of that when traumatised), as long as we're not misusing that same brush to whitewash the scene instead. That's equally unreasonable.

'..accusation without evidence isn't safeguarding - it is abuse by you, of the people you are accusing without evidence' I like that! On the money. Taking advantage of pts/relatives who are reeling from a traumatic event is a far too common NHS tactic. It victimises the victims.
-
Before I leave - is that tactic coming from nurses and doctors, most of whom are honestly 'trying to help' in my opinion, or is it flowing downwards from managers and trust lawyers, John? I had no problems with my mum's GP - but I did with the PCT, 'the police', etc, myself.
-
My impression is that management are largely the driving force on this & lawyers are the expensive enablers. But HCPs have to be complicit in order for them to get away with it. Which is where the bullying and coercion tends to kick in. The ultimate test of one's moral compass.
-
I agree with you - but as usual, it is also 'my impression', because as for so much of this stuff, I don't have any hard evidence to point to.
