Child safeguarding expert Sonia Appleby is awarded £20,000 after bringing claim against NHS trust
A child safeguarding expert who faced vilification after raising concerns about the safety of children undergoing treatment at an NHS gender identity clinic has won an employment tribunal case against the hospital trust.
Sonia Appleby, 62, was awarded £20,000 after an employment tribunal ruled the NHS’s Tavistock and Portman trust’s treatment of her damaged her professional reputation and “prevented her from proper work on safeguarding”.
