Introduce Criminal Penalties for Council, Housing Officials on day-to-day Basis — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Introduce statutory criminal penalties for Council, Housing, and Social Care mangers who engage in data spoliation, record tampering, and routine institutional abuse of power against members of the public.

Additional details

The Public Office (Accountability) Bill focuses its criminal penalties & "Duty of Candour" on public disasters & formal inquires. It fails to explicitly cover day-to-day casework, routine housing applications, individual safeguarding files. This leaves a critical loophole allowing rogue local authority officials to alter, delete public files. Expand Hillsborough Law's Duty of Candour to cover day-to-day public casework-Create specific criminal offence for data spoliation by public officials.
