My experience with the Civil Service

My experience with the Civil Service as a former CPS employee is as follows.

I worked for the CPS between 2023 and 2025 on the 3rd floor of the Sussex Police Station at John Street in Brighton without knowing that my nationality did not meet the Civil Service Nationality Requirements until I accepted a higher-salary job offer from the DWP, which told me the CPS should have never employed me due to my nationality.

I then realised that the CPS knowingly and illegally employed me, as they received all my documentation for my National Security Vetting and that my vetting outcome was successful. I still have all the email exchanges for my vetting and the signed employment contract and the Official Secret Act as evidence.

Due to the above fact, the CPS committed several offences under:

  1. Section 21(1), (1A), (1B)(b)(iii)), (2), (3) and Section 23 of the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006. (As amended by Section 35 of the Immigration Act 2016).

  2. Section 6 of th Aliens Restriction (Amendment) Act 1919.

  3. Part 1 of the National Security Act 2023.

  4. Section 1of the Aliens' Employment Act 1955.

  5. Section 35 of the Immigration Act 2016.

Per the wording "knowingly" under section 21 of the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 and the evidence that is in my possession, I'm not liable for the offence of illegal working. However, per Section 23 of the 2006 Act, the Head of the CPS, who is also the current Director for Public Prosecution, is directly responsible for the offence committed by the CPS.

Due to the seriousness of the matter, I immediately reported this matter to an HR manager and a senior manager in my office under the CPS Whistleblowing Policy. As expected, they are all covering for each other and for the CPS.

In the CPS letter to dismiss me, they admitted the failures due to "human error" and used the wording "suitability" from a policy document that I was never made aware of. They did share that document with me after my dismissal but the document did not mention "suitability" is applicable under the situation, as the document states that suitability means work performance, fitness for work, conduct from which they could not find any issues of me.

I also reported the CPS to the Sussex Police and the Immigration Enforcement.

But as expected, the Sussex Police stated that "this is a civil matter between you and the CPS" in an attempt to cover for themselves, as the place of illegal working occurred inside their own building.

The Immigration Enforcement stated that they could not disclose what action they have taken or not taken against the CPS. But they did not publish the CPS as a rogue employer in their illegal working civil penalties register as they would do to other organisations. This remains unchanged and even after I complained

The CPS and their legal representatives also bought some judges in the London South Employment Tribunal obviously to make things highly difficult for me, these employment judges were playing ignorance before me as though they could not understand the definition of "illegal working" and "illegally employing" or the offences the CPS has committed despite the CPS has admitted in writing that they illegally employed me. The judges also knowingly ignored 90% of my submissions made via emails, treated my documents and evidence as "not received" or selectively read my submission to favour the CPS. Now my case is still in the Employment Appeal Tribunal.

I hope my experience does not stop you from pursuing a career at the CPS, the Civil Service or believing in justice, as I am merely sharing the facts and my own experience.

You will undoubtedly get better treatment from everyone, including corrupt judges and corrupt law enforcement, for being quiet about wrongdoings.

Good luck 🤞
