SHROPSHIRE SOCIAL SERVICES CRISIS

Yes there is a massive increase in the caseloads of Social Workers, due

to the damned if we do,and damned if we don’t scenario, but if one

Local Authority has recently dropped 200 of their cases, so they can

concentrate on safeguarding vulnerable children, the former could of

child - it was taken by a dingo. the Crown case was found to be very

faulty. See - http://netk.net.au/NT/NT18.asp

Her conviction was quashed.

SUNDAY TELEGRAPH BLOG

A lot of the problems with regards too children being taken wrongly

into care, is the medical and other evidence given in the family court

arena by the so called expert witnesses, some are not adequately

qualified to make such a diagnosis.

In one of my cases recently, a Pediatrician diagnosed the mother with MSBP without ever seeing the client or children involved.

Without the professionalism of the Childrens Panel Solicitors representing the

FOSTER CARE ALLOWANCES

ATTENTION EVERYBODY! (Especially those of you on low incomes -)

I’ve just encountered a very interesting comment in Leicestershire Council fostering literature in relation to an up to £30/week education maintenance grant that the Council pays foster children staying on at
school or in college after they reach the age of 26;-

“The usual means test is not applied to Foster Children”
