Our story isn't a positive one, but try to remember all those who has a positive experience will not use this site, or post their experiences online - SS involvement isn't something you advertise, even when they've been really helpful. So try to remember the internet has a 'negativity bias - that's ...

"CS have been so incredibly unprofessional throughout this whole process and it is frightening that people like this are legally permitted to make disclosures. It also makes me worry about who else they could contact others with these exaggerated details." Yep, the way they work certainly at times (...

'A further 6 months past..' All too familiar story. Austerity or not, this is totally unacceptable. These are people's lives being put on hold and family relationships being strangulated. Personally I don't care how much pressure the SS are under or how few staff etc etc, it's just not acceptable on...

'The conviction is spent'. That should be the end of the matter, by any sense of logic and fair play. If this is true, then it means he committed a certain set of offences (or maybe even just one individual offence) and that that set of offences has been specifically addressed by the sentence, and t...

'is there is not the idea of innocent until proven guilty?' No, quite the opposite where social services are concerned.

Whether there or genuine concerns or not for the children's welfare, everything about this case points to what an utter shambles the CS are and simply unfit for purpose. Their workload is so high they can't cope - but is it surprising when the protocol for intervention is so rigorous and automatic, ...

It's 21 days while they 'work out what to do' (expect this to get shifted ad infinitum), because basically they don't yet have a clue due to hopeless under-resourcing (for which you, the service users are penalized in the form of your human rights). It's currently a box-ticking exercise, because thi...

If they didn't have anxiety already, anybody is going to have after social services involvement. Not support, not safeguarding: Harassment, pure and simple.

'however my partner was never charged or even arrested so I don't understand how this can follow him for so long and affect our lives so much.' Because it's a witch hunt, simple. And CS are at the vanguard of it, and absolute incompetent back-covering ***s. They care only about themselves and not th...
