Birmingham Childrens Social Services Report

I have been quite busy working to highlight the systematic problems that cause the situation where Birmingham has the problems as identified in Monday's report. I will do a detailed post at some stage about this.

However, it is my view that Birmingham is far from being the worst Childrens Services Authority for Child Protection. It is, however, the most honest.

I am not so sure that they are honest, my dealings with them some 9 years ago would say that they were far from honest. Whenever we needed help with my daughters problems the social worker was off sick. We were never able to get the same social worker twice. My dauther needed help which I was not qualified to give. However, as a result I have lost all my grandchildren whom I miss very much and find it difficult to understand why there was not the support there. I would like to have had some idea of how my grandchildren were doing - Zacharia Anthony Richmond and Matthew Belhartley-Benson and Sapphire Mewrrick Benson - Benson was their mothers maiden name. I know that Zacharia and Matthew may be together The tragic case of my dauther would never have happened had there been sufficient support and understanding of hers and the childrens needs. I gave as much as I could.

I would like to know how the respective children are getting on despite there being a long gap in time since I was last intouch. My life had to move on but they are always on my mind.

If you could at least give me some indication as to their welbeing then I would be happy.

I think that after all this time there would be some form of breakthrough where Grandparent could be informed of their childrens welbeing. According to one of the social workders Mr Rob Snow I was only a grandparent by accident - well that may be so but I still loved my grandchildren and miss them and I found his attitude both rude and cruel. Just because He does not seem to have a happy life he should not be allowed to make others suffer even more.

The attitude at the time from all the service was extremely negative and I would not recommend anyone to go the Social Services in Birmingham for help.

Sue Page (formerly Mrs Watson) I have moved on with my life but am still concerned of their well being.

Service launched to reduce the pain of calling a call centre.

Click here to try the beta test call entre phoning service"John Hemming, who has created an internet Startup called Cirrostratus since he ceased being an MP, is launching a free online service to make life easier for people phoning call centres.   The service is provided by Cirrostratus, but the SIP backbone is provided by the multi-award winning business VoIP solution, Soho66." John said, "Many people find phoning call centres a real pain.  Our service is aiming to make things a lot easier.   One click on alink or the bookmarks list and our server will phone up the call centre and get through all the menus.  This is a lot faster than when people have to phone up and is less irritating." "Additionally the system uses WebRtc and the internet to make the call. This means that people don't find their normal phone system being blocked whilst they hang on the line waiting to speak to a human being." Marketing Manager from Soho66, David McManus, said: &q…

A grassroots uprising against terrorism

Original Date 26th May 2017

One thing I used to do when I was the Member of Parliament for Yardley was to call together meetings of all of the religious organisations in Yardley as a Yardley multi-faith group.  In many ways it is the creation of informal links between people that makes communication easier even if there is no formal decision making power.

Obviously this is something I would intend to do again if the people of Yardley ask me to take on the responsibility of representing them in parliament.

It highlights the sort of thing that politicians can do which arises from a leadership role within communities rather than any constitutional position.

I have already written in an earlier blog post about the principles of resolving conflict.  It can be summarised as "murdering innocents is wrong".

A number of local mosques have issued statements following the atrocity in Manchester and I think it is worth quoting from parts of them.

One said that the mosque "Unequivoc…

Lib Dems would give the West Midlands police force an extra £16,220,000 a year

Liberal Democrats have announced they would boost investment in police forces by £300m a year. This is in stark contrast to the Conservatives who have overseen devastating cuts to community policing. Theresa May as Home Secretary and now Prime Minister has cut policing budgets by over £2bn, eroding the very fabric of community policing.

Under the Liberal Democrats the West Midlands would see a funding increase of £16,220,000 a year. This could be used to restore a visible policing presence in the community and ensure the police have the training and tools to deal with the changing nature of crime.

Liberal Democrat John Hemming commented:“This investment in our police is absolutely vital. Under Theresa May – first as Home Secretary and now as Prime Minister, our police have had to deal with severe cuts. These are now cutting into the bone.“Our police work tirelessly to keep us safe and this Government has completely betrayed them.“Only the Liberal Democrats have a credible pl…
