So mad with SS after ding a SAR
Notifications OFF
Received my SAR documentation over a month ago and put off reading it because I knew it would make me mad and oh boy has it! I had to stop reading it. The SW is openly lying, she had documented that I have done a Claire's Law request - I haven't. I didn't even know what Claire's Law is I had to google it. She is insinuating that DV is an issue when it isn't and never has been. She has said that I should be asking my OH for a divorce- she is showing professional bias. She has said that I ended a planned house visit because I was too stressed, have never done this and I'm always welcoming to her. Why are they allowed to lie and get away with it!

Completely agree LittleRobin- yes my husbands offence was upsetting, it happened nearly two 2 years ago. I've gotten over the upset, he's seen a therapist to address what he did. SS are still in our lives causing upset. The police have openly said what he did is not a sex crime which is why he was charged with obscene publication and not under the sex offenders act. I'm not justifying what he did, these are just he facts in black and white.
I need to complain to the LA before contacting the ICO which is what my full intention is. I'm just wondering if I am able to contact the police for them to confirm that I never done a Claire's Law request

I was made by SS to do both a Claire's Law and Sarah's Law request even though I'd been with my OH since we were 13 y/o and had full awareness of his one conviction of IIOC in 5 years ago. I kept saying I didn't need to, I've seen the charges, PSR etc which say it's his first offence but she was adamant. I had the call off the police that was literally 2 minutes long and they said I know far more than they'd disclose anyway. In the first CPC, the police there said yeah we received the request but thought it was pointless since you're fully aware.
The SW then said that it's purely a procedural request / tick box exercise that they ask everyone to do. So it might not be that the SW is accusing your OH of DV but them just ticking a box to say you'd done it even though they'd forgotten to ask you. I was equally offended when she was adamant I did it when I know my husband and his history but my solicitor (during Preproceedings) told me to do it anyway to show you're doing everything you can to protect your child.

I too like others was pushed to do a claires law& Sarah's law. Even though I had full disclosure & had all his charge sheets etc etc. It is purely just a box ticked off I think. I have a new social worker now and she has been amazing and if she's asked I do something and I don't agree with it and ask her she'll openly tell me it's just a box to tick off.
Thanks for the replies everyone. I think its more the fact that she has never had a conversation with me about it and then documents that I have done it and is then saying I should be divorcing him. I dont know what she is playing at!
