OP, what does your lawyer(s) think?
I must admit I have a vague memory that you serviced washing machines or something...
I worked at Creda/Hotpoint/Indesit for 27 years and ended up being the factory Quality Audit Technician.
He did mention safeguarding. My guess is its in relation to social services.
So it could be a delicate situation.
Depends on how Safeguarding want to play it? What they generally do is come in turning everything upside down and look at both the clients and our data for the last 12 months concerning our relationship.Or be influenced by this "gift" in order to continue doing business with you.
Because OCUK hasn't got dozens of Legal people on here who know their stuff.
(Probably none in this thread though except me and that's not my area)
I'd prefer to take my sensitive legal advice from an actual person rather than a faceless stranger.
That may be when/if it goes to the next stage but there's no harm in asking here at this first satge.
We have some really clever people on these forums so why not use them.
