CYPNOW Blog

I applaud, BASW, Chief executive Hilton Dawson, with reference to Martin Nareys comments in the Observer Newspaper, about taking more Babies into care at birth, the situation within the Family Courts at the moment is dire, with a waiting list for Guardians in some parts of the Country, is five months, which is leaving Children at risk of abuse, or even death and in the majority of cases, innocent Parents being apart from their Children, for a longer timescale.

Social Services, have enough… Continue

Daily Telegraph Blog

There is no blame and accountability made on Social Workers, in any of these blogs.

Until Social Workers are made accountable for malpractice, these Local Authority failings and the death of vulnerable children will continue, Baby Peter was seen by Social Work staff, on more than 60 times and yet he still died.

Ofsted, have failed in more than 20 Local Authority's, on their on the spot inspections, some failures are due to incomplete assessments, done within the correct timescale… Continue

Social Workers think they have the right to act this way.

I am dealing with a case where a Child suffered from an unexplained fracture and the Social Worker said, I demand and will find out how this fracture occurred, in other words, somebody that thinks she is a Police Officer, a Paediatrician and Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon all in one.

In another case, a Child was handed over to the Local Authority, out of fear, that her son would kill himself and endanger the lives of others, he… Continue

John Hemming Link Blog

PAIN is dealing with a Public Law Case in Coventry, where the Mother has been diagnosed with MSPP, by a Paediatrician that has never seen the Parents or Children.

A fortnight ago, the Family were at a wedding, when one of the Boys fell and injured his leg, resulting in a trip to Casualty, there was no apparent injury.

At Court on the following day, the Guardian, who had been informed of the Hospital visit, stated that the Mothers anxieties were having a detrimental effect on the… Continue

Martin Narey Blog

Martin Narey, I just hope that you never have to face the indignity of the secret Family Courts and have your heart ripped apart for ever.

Your arrogance is beyond belief.

Babies are being taken from Mothers, within hours of birth, on Emergency Protection Orders, in many parts of the Country at present; in many Cases Social Services have very little evidence to support such drastic action.

Mothers are being diagnosed with MSBP, by expert witnesses who are not properly qualified… Continue

Sunday Mercury Blog

Local Authority's are failing in their Legal duties, to provide Parents with their Social Services files under the Data Protection act.

Under Section 7 of the Data Protection Act 1998, Social Services have 40 days to comply.

It is not just Social Services that deny Parents such data.

I was representing a Client within the Family Court Arena in Coventry,and was in the Pre Court meeting with my Clients Children's Panel Solicitors, the Parents had already put in a verbal appeal for… Continue

CRB Meeting With John Hemming MP - Birmingham 04/09/09

The meeting with John Hemming MP, regarding CRB issues was overtaken by issues, about taking Care Proceedings, where Care Orders have been granted and JFF are taking these Cases via the European Court, to get the Care Orders Discharged, or quashed and then take the Case back to the Court of appeal, for a retrial and this has apparently happened in a recent Case.

The issues regarding the CRB, will have to be taken on a individual basis, there will have to be proper documentation and… Continue

This is certainly the truth, within the UK, Care Proceedings have increased by as much as 80%, since the tragic death of Baby Peter, the Family Courts are in meltdown, due to lack of Guardians, which in some areas of the Country, there is a five month wait for these professionals, when in fact the former, should be appointed, within a week, of a Case reaching the Family Court Arena.

Cafcass have brought in new Guidelines, to overcome the backlog of Cases; these temporary rules will be used… Continue

SOCIAL WORKER PIONEERS SCHEME TO CUT SCHOOL EXCLUSIONS

The topic was started in a School in Staffordshire,and will be introduced in some areas of the Country in the next few months.

Rachel Bramble, said that with encouragement, realism,and openness, things would improve, the model will be based on a three year strategy.

At one particular School in Stafford, the exclusion of Children has dropped from 251 to six.

I presume this… Continue

Legally Kidnapped Blog

One of pain's Children's Panel Solicitors has asked the Legal Aid Board to fund a section 28 Contact Order, for a Grandmother to get to see her Grandchildren, post adoption.

My Co Worker at PAIN, self funded,and represented, himself, at the High Court, for such an order, three years ago, after he had his Children wrongly adopted, the Local Authority, had admitted to getting things wrong, with reference to the adoption, in his Case.

Unfortunately this was a test case, which… Continue
