Hi, I have not posted here for a while, as I can just about manage to deal with life each day. Since a place order was granted in January of 2013 and contact stopped on March 2014 as we were told that the LA had found a family. I have had no update from the SW (4th one) I did e mail to find out how ...

Thank you for that, I have got to the stage were I don't know what to do next. We are not entitled to legal aid, can't get a loan as I'm the only one working part time and solicitors quoting silly money £8500 just to put in application for leave to revoke placement order. Represented ourselves at SG...

Here here, I am a grandmother of two who are on a placement order and have experience everything you mention. What has happened to the British justice system!! We had our final contact last week.

Thanks for that I thought along those lines myself, but why are they still letting my grandson come, we have been told that they would not separate them. According to the LA the grandson is the one with issues, do they do as they say??

The final care plan which was for adoption states that contact with parents and grandparents is to be reduced, until Decembe...

I do not know if I have the right site, but due to recent circumstances in need of some urgent advice and guidance. I will try and be brief as this is a very long one, daughter and partner third child died of non accidental injury at the age of 9 weeks and both parents had fact finding and have had ...

Over the passed few months since we formally requested an assessment for an SGO we have undergone many hours of interviews and Psychological Assessment, due the the fact that daughter and her partner have had a fact finding hearing which the outcome was 'Failing to Protect'. After this the judge has...
