A nurse who uses pronouns tells an employment tribunal that the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) failed to help her when she needed support. The witness, Jennifer Melle, appears as part of Sandie Peggie’s tribunal case against the RCN.
The reports describe Melle giving evidence in the matter, which centers on claims about how the RCN responded to issues raised by nurses connected to Peggie’s employment dispute. Both outlets frame the testimony around the nurse’s account of unmet assistance, though they provide limited detail on the underlying circumstances and the specific support she says was lacking. The dispute is therefore presented through the lens of the witness’s experience, rather than through outcomes or adjudications.
As the case proceeds, the tribunal will consider the evidence from both sides. The accounts so far focus on Melle’s statement that the RCN did not provide the help she believed was necessary at the time, and on her role in supporting Peggie’s position in the proceedings.
