Alison Stevens

Volunteer

Alison Stevens is our Chairperson and was part of the original PAIN organisation. During the late 1980s Alison faced the loss of her own children after wrongly being accused of harming her son. It had transpired that her son was suffering from brittle bones disease and that she had not caused injuries to her son. Luckily Alison managed to keep her children. Alison, felt that without the help and support given to her from PAIN that she would not be with us today. Since then Alison has campaigned tirelessly on behalf of families and lobbying MPs. She has done radio and TV interviews.

Trevor Jones

Volunteer

Trevor became involved as the result of a personal friend losing her children to permanent care with no direct access to the children. In this particular case one professional wrote “the house is cluttered with too many books”. You could argue better than none at all!!!! Trevor became so appalled by this horrendous treatment of his friend and her family that he embarked on investigating the methods used by social services. He has committed immeasurable man hours in highlighting many deficiencies and asking difficult questions of Social Services with many of his letters published in both local and national Press. He is currently involved on the campaign side of PAIN highlighting the problems within the present child protection system with letters published in The Times, Daily Telegraph, Guardian, Observer, Sunday Telegraph and many local and regional papers. He has written PAIN submissions to recent government consultations and was instrumental in co-ordinating a multi organisational response to the Child Care Proceedings Review in November 2005.

Trevor completes all the Family law consultations together within parliament and most of them has been published with regards to the family justice system and within the U.K.
