Dr 'sue' | Tribunal 'exterminates' complaints about boss's Dalek mug

A support worker who launched legal claims after a manager used a Doctor Who-themed mug, which referenced “exterminating someone”, has lost his case against his employer.

A Sheffield Employment Tribunal found that the mug “was not put there deliberately” by Alan Wordsworth during a meeting in June 2024 and had “nothing whatsoever to do with any health and safety concerns” raised by the claimant, Joshua Aderemi, against care provider Hesley Group.
