CLOSED - Lewd behaviour Tredegar Site shower block

M/Mike, contact the Police. It could be a 'child protection' issue, no ifs or buts it needs investigating. It goes beyond informing local organisations. You can then rest easy knowing you have done as much as you can.

A second vote for reporting to the police.  Sounds like reporting to wardens and club hasn't solved the situation if its been known about for 5 years.

My OH would take a roll of Duct tape to the shower block to temporarily block up the holes, then knowing him he would go back to the van, find something in our bits and bobs box, and fill them permanently.

On thinkig about this situation as reported by the OP. The obvious question must be, as the warden staff are  supposed to clean the showers daily,  why have they not 1 noticed the holes and 2 why have they not done something to ensure privacy. for those using the showers.

Is there something sinister going on ? .

I would hesitate to elaborate but we all read the news and what can happen in public shower blocks and lavatories.

The holes have been filled in before with a waterproof sealant last year, so it's wrong to jump to conclusions.

In addtion no complaints were raised last year either. Had there been, they would have been addressed.

I suggest you ring Head Office and ask to get in contact with the Regional Manager.

I assure you that the club would not take such a matter lightly, buy "burying their head in the sand".

I beg to differ Kubota, they constantly bury their heads, or that is the impression that is given on this forum

The Wardens at Tredegar House have informed me that they are aware of the holes referred to in this thread.  They are situated in one of the panels in one of the showers and have been there for a number of years, caused by a hole being drilled for shower fittings in the wrong place.  The holes are filled and the Wardens check them every day as part of their routine toilet cleaning duties.  Should the filling become displaced, the holes are refilled.  There have been no reported incidents over the years in regard to these holes.

If you have concerns whilst on site, please talk to the Site Staff.

Thank you

Sounds like a new, hole free, panel/board is required then instead of continuously repairing what's already there

I just have to say that (as someone with significant amount of training and dealing with safeguarding issues) this thread has highlighted one of the problem in dealing with such matters - everyone assumes the worst. I am not saying the OP was wrong to bring this to the club's attention, far from it, but a hole went from a being a hole into something lewd and sinister with possibly campers and staff tainted.

If a matter is reported (as as I said it's better safe than sorry so anything should be reported) it must be investigated but the main rule is to gather information without any bias or assumptions and then if there is a case to warrant further investigation then give the matter over to the proper authorities. Cetainly school procedures follow this approach.

Write your comments here...I think the quote from the op where he says " I reported to the wardens and to the CC head office. But feel that no one is taking this seriously    I,m not sure what to do next to escalate the problem ? Any suggestions?""   sums up why such issues do take wings,and can cause concern when discussed on this forum.

On reflection, the OP was right to raise his concerns on the forum ... It would appear that the CC have now taken the issue seriously, since it has been discussed by the membership.
