CAMBRIDGE SOCIAL SERVICES ORDER SERIOUS CASE REVIEW

Cambridge Social Services are having a serious case review into how a baby girl was murdered by her Father, after 40 different fractures were found on the little girl’s body.

No lessons are being learned from past cases, such as baby Peter and Victoria Columbie in Haringey.

More heads to roll and sackings I guess, until Social Workers are made accountable for malpractice and the judicial system is changed, these tragedies will continue tenfold.

The evil excuse of a Father will be… Continue

I applaud Lord Laming and the new scheme to be introduced in Hertfordshire, with reference to newly qualified Social Workers, being given a years extra training and mentoring, in regards to practical training and reduced case loads.

The former could prevent vulnerable children being left at risk, because of inaccurate data and documentation in case files by adequately qualified and less experienced staff and could also prevent miscarriages of justice and children taken into care wrongly,… Continue

When an expert witness is a Paediatrician and can make a diagnosis of MSBP, without seeing the Family or Children involved in the Care Proceedings, it just shows how Parents can experience miscarriages of Justice and forced adoption.

This professional is not adequately qualified to make such a diagnosis and if it wasn't for the expertise of our Clients Children Panel Solicitors, these three Children could be in three separate foster homes, siblings separated, all in the best interests of… Continue

This is happening all over the Country, the Family Courts are in meltdown, due to the increase in Care Proceedings, which in some parts of the UK is by as much as 75%.

One Local Authority has decided to drop 500 cases, due to the inability to safeguard vulnerable Children, due to the increase in caseloads.

There is a five to six month wait in the West Midlands for Guardians to be appointed; Guardians should be appointed within a week, of entering the Family Court arena.

PAIN has been campaigning for over a year now with regards to the injustice of some CRB disclosures.

In many Cases of alleged Child Abuse, Parents and Carers have their names vindicated, in some cases the Police and CPS, have no evidence, so cases are dropped, in a minority of cases Social Services decide to take no action.

Several months ago… Continue

POSTING ON CARE SPACE.

Hi, i notice you have posted a couple of messages on care space, i need to point out that care space is a forum for Social Workers,and other Social Care profeshionals to share information, with each other, it is not an appropriate forum for outside the profession, to air grievances about Social Workers.

One of my comments was a reply to a Social Worker, that had been accused of abuse by Parents.

Another violation of Human Rights, it beggars belief, with how much power Social Services have in our lives.

They can take Babies away from Mothers, within hours of birth, on Emergency Protection Orders, with very little evidence to support such drastic action.

Vulnerable Children die, due to Local Authority failings and very few Social Workers are made accountable for shoddy practice.

And now a lovely Young couple want to marry and are being denied their happy day.
