The curious affair of David Arnold of AoFAQ and the Dominatrix
On the face of it, David Arnold, the dimunitive 5ft 4inch Director of AoFAQ and Claire
Currie, who promotes her core Dominatrix service as a strong woman competitor in the
company of impossibly huge bodybuilders would have little in common … one would think!
David Arnold as the main director of AoFAQ, has until recently enjoyed the cosy and
lucrative position of administrating the issuing of regulated certificates in several areas
including health and safety and first aid.
As an awarding company they provide the course certificates in support of trainers who
actually do the real training. These trainers join AoFAQ to gain the benefits of protection
and compliance procedures for complaints, legislation changes and the like.
A0FAQ is a small business set up supported by four or five clerical staff and an efficient laser
printer. It has inflated its own importance by producing a veritable mountain of
accompanying forms and paperwork. A mountain that has prompted the Health & Safety
Executive to de-regulate the sector in order to promote more efficient and flexible training
options.
One AoFAQ member who also works in the newly de-regulated sector with their own
seperate approval process and instructor training course, were running a test of AoFA’s first
aid regulated certificates as part of their procurement process. The outcome was a little
disturbing!

2. The complaints came in from each course that the AoFAQ papers were confusing and
contradictory. Indeed the AoFAQ paperwork for one course was described by a Doctor who
attended as ‘Not Fit For Purpose’.
The findings were presented to AoFA who were given the opportunity to revise their systems
for the following course or the member would pull out of the AoFAQ programme.
The answer was simple for AoFAQ …
Enter Claire Currie, a Midlands based Dominatrix originally from Illinois in the USA who is
active in the underground Fetish Sex scene specializing in aggression towards men and
services such as financial domination who goes under the alias of Dita_Von_W_Lash.
She turned up to the Independent first-aid trainer’s course (incognito, of course) with some
16+ earing’s and an imitation 4ct size upper lip stud in her top lip. Words were positioned
regarding the obvious health and safety issue and the lip stud was eventually removed but not
without a protest from Claire who was visibly annoyed.
Claire (Dita_Von_W_Lash) gained a pass on the course and gave it a high score on the
evaluation sheets provided. Following the course she then placed several internet posts up
including setting up a blog site discrediting the training company, its director and claiming
there was a complaint lodged to AoFAQ about the course.
She then proceeded to canvas other people on the course, persuading them that they could
simply cancel any payment by saying they were not satisfied and in effect have the training
for nothing. Not surprisingly, several people were happy to go along with it despite the fact
they would face court proceeding and that they also had no complaints at the time and had
also positively evaluted the course on forms provided.
This would not seem so strange to some but the complaint was only made to the company
after the online posting had been put in place and to all involved it was clear there was
something peculiar about the circumstances.
Not to worry. AoFAQ would follow the process for their member and support their member
to deal with this type of fraudulent discrediting of the AoFAQ course … well that’s what one
would assume.
So the question is simple … ‘Why did David Arnold of AoFAQ then do something completely
opposite to this by supporting a claim with many obvious anomolies against a professional
member and director of 14 + years experience.
David Arnold of AoFAQ not only supported the views of Dita_Von_W_Lash but went the
extra mile and deliberately caused the member centre to face a range of business disruption,
negative publicity and financial loss.
A newly de-regulated sector with training companies allowed to deliver first aid training
without the need of an awarding company like AoFAQ but had joined an AO to compete
fairly must have all been to much for David Arnold of AoFAQ.

3. Was this a set up of David Arnold a director of AoFAQ to compete unfairly and breech EU
Laws and support such a campaign. Maybe the truth is somewhat darker? Bribery? Fear? Or
is this just a case of hidden desires?
We would like to receive your comments and views on this to help David if he is finding the
pain too much to bear.
