Thanks also for your caution around not posting stuff about possible court cases - not everyone is so careful (those comments end up in the bin).

Thank you for your response.
Yes I unders...Lucy,<br /><br />Thank you for your response. <br /><br />Yes I understand. Only one of the 4 was willing to talk to us.....He went out of his way to contact me. The other 4 have never attempted to make contact...when I have tried they absolutely refused to engage with us.<br /><br />I really must refrain from saying too much as it is likely we will end up in the courts...<br /><br />This has been one's absolute nightmare... A very unforgiving nightmare....<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327718065135964598.post-38420029101334423382013-03-22T14:58:34.442+00:002013-03-22T14:58:34.442+00:00Hi there - most IMCA referrals are for people who ...Hi there - most IMCA referrals are for people who don't have family or friends, but if a person is deprived of their liberty then they might have an IMCA whose role is to support them (and/or their family) to understand and exercise their rights.Lucy Serieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820866715125284389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327718065135964598.post-36784845635331980962013-03-22T11:32:48.373+00:002013-03-22T11:32:48.373+00:00A member of my family is on his 5th IMCA?

Is it the ASCT? or does this irrational order come from the top of the chain.<br /><br />Have they something to hide? Could it be that guidelines have not been followed and that they have not adhered to the rules<br /><br />Trying to keep family members away only confirms their failure and how much financially has it cost this local authority in the long term to de-humanise and violate my family members fundamental human right to seek help. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
