This week’s edition of The Orcadian is now in shops and is available online here.
On the front page, we report on Unison’s plans to meet with bosses at Orkney Islands Council to make the case for change across social work services. This comes following yet more allegations of bullying and a lack of support of staff which, allegedly, let to an recent exodus of employees from a key disability support team.
