My company has a rehabilitation scheme for ex-offenders, one of which works at my place of work. He has many violent convictions and has spent the last 17 years in jail. Recently me and another member of staff witnessed him with an illegal drug in the staff room. Management were made aware of this but neither me nor my other colleague were the ones who told them. He also said management are going to go round and collect written statements from all members of staff. Obviously he wrongly suspects me and my colleague of telling management, and 2 days ago whilst we were both in the staff room threatened both of us, saying if either of us write a statement he would find out and put us in hospital. In his own words "if we get him sacked, I don't care if I go back in prison" basically he would want revenge. Just wondered if there is legally any protection available and wether this is a sackable offence?
