A lot of decisions and actions are being taken which go against the principles of a very bad legislation which really protects bad professionals/ local authority directors and their departments- because you need resources to challenge decisions in court and they know it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327718065135964598.post-15667633110810458652012-10-31T15:15:39.691+00:002012-10-31T15:15:39.691+00:00Lucy,
Can we discuss a little problem here, Fro...Lucy,<br /><br /> Can we discuss a little problem here, From on going experience Lets say Joe blogs has successfully applied to become a Deputy under a false statement and is then reported to the Office of the Public Guardian for not following the guidelines and adhering to the Code Of Practice. <br />I imagine they will come down on this person like a ton of bricks......<br />Now, what when it is the Local Authorities who obtain COP illegally in the same way? what I mean is, fail to inform families of there intentions by producing a COP 5 for families to appeal. When I phoned the COP I was informed, that had I been presented with a COP 5, they the Local Authority would never have been granted Deputyship.... So I contact the OPG expressing my concerns about how my Local Authority in London obtained this Deputyship. Did they seem bothered? I was informed that they would be sending a Court Visitor to the Local Authority to investigate.... Well, what can I say, I would like to say that the Court Visitor found the Local Authority guilty as evidence shows, as without evidence there is no case..... but I cannot say that. Only a Judge will be able to pass judgement on the activities of the Local Authority. So what do we do now? Who do we trust. Is there anybody out there with any integrity? I think so, they live in Yorkshire......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
