*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.
