Dirty Tactics Exposed

*Social worker arriving at a house of a mother suffering with post natal depression ,early and unannounced and shouting "this is your social worker" at the window so all the neighbours can hear she has a social worker.

*Social worker advising mother to move away from friends and family as it will help her get her child back. When she does this social services say she is isolated and has no support and uses that to keep her child in care.


*Social Services telling parents they need C.B.T and unless they get this treatment they won't get their child back. They know the parents can't afford to pay for the treatment privately and they can't get it on the NHS as their own Doctors dont think they need it. If they do get on a waiting list SS say the child can't wait that long.


* Social workers stating that the homes are too small for children to return to,but social workers won't help then get bigger council house. Won't write any letters on their behalf to the councils.


*Arranging appointments when they know the parents can't attend.ie hospital appointments or whilst they are at work. SS then say parents aren't co-operating when they miss appointments.

*Same with contact if parent misses due to going to court for the care proceedings they are unreasonably told they don't care about their children.

* Not helping with transport costs.

*Arranging appointments for pre-birth assessments and then cancelling,so that the parent can't contest anything or prepare a case. Keeping the parent in the dark. Then social workers pounce on the parent after the birth to remove baby as they havent done an assessment.

*Parent winning a contact order in court and then social workers ignoring it and refusing to arrange contact for parent.

* Persuading the parent/s to agree to adoption on the proviso that the parents can have a few contacts a year with the child. Or the parent being allowed to send cards every year. As soon as the adoption is granted social services go back on this and say its not in the best interests of the child.

Underhand and Illegal tactics and bad practice being used on a Regular Basis by Children's Services Today

This blog has been set up top expose bad practice being used by Social Services or as they are called now-The Children's Services.
Bad practice is now considered common practice in this organisation. No other profession could get away with behaving like this without media outrage.

I believe they continue in this way as they are completely unaccountable. The public are not allowed to go to the press or they are gagged. The complaints process is inaccessible and run by councils and designed to protect the social workers,not the public.

Frequently people who use the Children's Services are described as child abusers and this is encouraged by posts I have seen by social workers when debate has arisen on social work magazines between parents and social workers.

There are many cases where children are abused.Equally there are many parents who become involved with social services because they are going through a temporary crisis,or have become ill with post natal depression,are victims of domestic violence and have asked social services for assistance. Other parents have had mini breakdowns or a period of depression.
In fact many users are people in a vulnerable period in their lives who love their children dearly but find,like myself,they get no assistance. Rather these people are abused by social workers who seem to have forgotten the meaning of social care and support and see their role as being vindictive police officers.

This blog is set up to expose dreadful practice,bullying tactics,meanness,the inability of many social workers to adhere to common codes of conduct and the children's act and actual illegal acts prevalent in social work departments today. Over the last 5 years I have been sickened by hearing over and over again how social workers behave and the dirty tactics they use.

This blog is a compilation of the above.
