Southampton Children's Social Services

I've never known so many professionals to be unfit for purposes. Failure to meet basic needs, inconsistancy and full blown lies with no evidence to back up claims. Not following simple protocols. Lack of support and resources. Southampton Social services are failing young people and there familys. This needs to be investigated.

Hello, here is the evidence of my childhood abuse. I am not seeking sympathy because I know I am not the only case. The people working here are fantastic, I can't say they do not care, however the system is 'if we don't have it logged anywhere, you are a liar" As suggested by Rick (manager of Child Services), if you are abandoned and not helped at ages 17-25, deal drugs, that is the only way. I had too, when I was kicked out at 17 and left to squat above KFC (199a Portswood road). Golden ticket holders (those the council deem work exempt) are provided with so much. We need to stop this work exempt status, look around and see how many jobs are available. The Care Act simply raises those on it to always be dependant on benefits, absolutely pathetic.
