Offsted is a worthwhile avenue to try. In the case of my own Children's Services, I know they have failed their Offsted twice in recent years, and some magnificent all-powerful super-director was brought in (no doubt on a huge salary) to oversee two local authorities simultaneously! Amazing woman. O...

@May Have you had any further news on the SHPO front? If your husband's risk is coming down, I find it highly unlikely the police would apply for one now, especially since the judge did not see fit to apply one in the first place. This would not be an 'oversight' - they simply don't make obvious err...

The common denominator is management isn't it. Utter *short word for part of female anatomy*s. 'Senior social worker' indeed. So that means they think they know better than the worker on the ground? From their plump little office, they can cast a quick decision amidst the other 2,000 cases they have...

'Unique' case. LOL, yeah, in other words they haven't got a ****ing clue. So they just try to shut down all your human rights instead. How unique can it be?? Viewing Iioc? It's one of the most widespread phenomena of modern times, 20+ years old now, and yet they still haven't worked out how unrelate...

I'm not even going to try and comment on the details of this lot, it speaks for itself. I hereby raise up the post. These are self-evidently caring and articulate parents - not one, but a host of cases - and frankly I believe their word on their concerns I read here over that of the Local Authority ...

Very interesting, May. I've saved the link! Some good points in there, but it kind of makes me despair quite frankly, their speculations and reasoning and 'dynamic risk' diagrams etc. Basically, they don't have a clue do they, but that is probably bad for me. I reckon they'll conclude they simply 'd...

I too will be putting in a freedom of information request! I had no idea we could do this - which I will point out when I put the request in! They tell you what they want, think they can do what they want, and withhold what they want. After all this time (2 years, 3 if you count the pre-charge perio...

What a diabolical shambles. Goalpost-shifting, back-covering and complete lack of competent insight. Utter inhumanness, stemming from the moral panic of Sarah's Law. Appalling that it would drag up a past crime that was long-since paid for, yet you weren't even convicted! What the hell is this insan...

'sign an agreement that she'll not allow me to have unsupervised contact with her son until he is 18 (more restrictive than my SOPO was)'
Just who the hell these people think they are! Unbelievable.

Dear Just a guy, Thank you for sharing the outcome of the assessment with the parents’ forum. I think it will help a lot of parents who are in similar circumstances. That is good news for your family. Best wishes, Suzie Yep, well thank goodness for that, nevertheless what an appallingly draconian e...
