We tweeted about this call for evidence last week, but it’s too important a request not to share it again here.
The Children’s Commissioner and the National Children’s Bureau are hoping to:
- Gather information on mechanisms used to seek the views, experiences and perceptions of children in care and care leavers.
- Identify related sources of evidence produced since April 2015 that relate to the views, experiences and perceptions of children in care and care leavers.
The very good National IRO Managers Partnership website has a useful summary. An extract from their article is added below:
“The aim is to understand the current evidence base on views, experiences and perceptions of children in or leaving care. This will involve exploring methods used to engage with children, as well as the products of such engagement. Analysis will focus on whether it is feasible to describe a national picture by drawing on individual exercises from across England. This will inform the Children’s Commissioner of whether there is sufficient evidence to inform a future “State of the Nation” report on children in care and care leavers….
We therefore ask that IRO Managers respond to this important call for evidence with information on outputs published or unpublished, carried out since April 2015 related to:
- Activities you undertake, or have undertaken to gather the views, experiences and perceptions of children in or leaving care.
- Resulting published or unpublished outputs from these activities.”
If you know of anyone who might be interested in this call, please do share this post. This is an excellent example of organisations trying to amplify the voice of the child, which is so rarely done.
The deadline for submissions is 20th March, 2017.

Governments that don’t do, love to talk. Its just talk. Governments and Elites are too busy preying on everyone’s children and do not really want to help. They just want the token appearance of caring that has no meaning and is a contradiction. Never ascribe sincerity to governments, ever. Governments are a form of power and greed, that operates on behalf of even greater power and greed that remains hidden from our eyes. Just some rambling thoughts. 😉

I think there’s a lot of truth to that, but if we keep pushing, they can’t keep ignoring 🙂

Unfortunately, the Children’s Commissioner destroyed the evidence submitted in January 2012 by Dr Linda Stalley of the Maranatha Community to the investigation into sexual abuse organised by groups and gangs:

They neither referred to it in their report nor do they publish it anywhere on their site.
It would have been most helpful to the Police who don’t know about ritual abuse and the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual abuse. They could have started with ‘bigger’ rather than individual cases.

Sorry but this is more bull ! The I.R.O`s are the people who write the disgusting L.A.C reports which are made up nonsense and are insulting to both the children and their families in order to justify taking babies and children so that they can be passed from one mystery doctor to another and forced into having unwanted dangerous and defective pharma drugs and vaccines without the consent of the children and without their parents permission . My child dictated a letter to the children`s commissioner whilst in care which was not welcomed by the contact supervisors who abused my child several times and this happened in front of witnesses . When I complained about the activities at the Active 8 contact centre their bizarre response was to say that I had ” accused them of being connected to the terror group ` Boko Harem `” !.
The Children`s Commissioner did not respond to my child`s pleas to go home and that she felt her human rights were being violated nor did she respond to the fact that my child said that her hair was falling out in clumps . They even tried to deny receiving one so I resent the e-mail . Some months later I went to see my child at the S.E.N building at Toxteth Annexe in Liverpool and found her to be completely bald and she had head wounds . She was plastered in bruises and had severe weight loss . The two social workers and Court Guardian both mocked my child who has a disability and myself who has a walking difficulty by talking among each other saying things like ” Her hair looks fine to me – does it look fine to you Julie ?” and ” I can`t see anything wrong with her hair – can you Catherine ?” . The evil devils then even concocted a story that I had ” attacked them and had been pulling at my daughters plaits ” then the LA made an application to suspend contact . When I went to the sinister and secret court for what should have been a re hearing of the original care order with no additions I was tortured further by being made to look at a picture of my child on a lap top wearing a small disk of fake very blonde hair on her bald head . The judge ordered a Cafcass meeting ! When I went to this the court guardian was not present and when I asked when I would see my child was told that I was threatening them by asking . I went back to court and found that the judge had been replaced by the same Recorder who had refused me an emergency hearing a few months earlier when it became apparent that fake hair was being used to disguise her hair falling out . I was also given a picture of her standing next to Lord Mayor and Labour minister for Children`s and Adults Social care Roz Gladden wearing fake plaits in a different colour draped across her bald head and wearing clothing to conceal the severe weight loss and bruising at an alleged ` awards ` ceremony . The judge then cut and pasted the concocted nonsense and I have not seen my child since .
I appealed this and went before Judge Munby who also cut and pasted the already cut and pasted rubbish and he denied me the right to appeal and denied me the right to approach the supreme court . I was told I had come to the end of the process in the UK so I sent an application to the ECHR . I asked for a 39 rule and received a letter to say that the evidence in the 39 rule had been noted and then another letter to say that they were rejecting my application because I had sent too much paperwork and they appeared to have ingnored the blatant abuse of my child which means they have managed to break her human rights and mine . It would seem that we have no more rights than farm animals .
I was sent a letter from the LA to say that I could not go on the Have Your Say site nor go into any of their buildings or they may arrest me . I was told to write to an e-mail address which came back to my and my friends computer as not deliverable . When I tried again the e-mail did send but I have had not one reply . I recently rang Brougham Terrace in Liverpool to ask what arrangements had been made for my daughters 17th birthday and was told ” nothing ” and then the phone went down . I rang back and heard the sound of sweet wrappers being rustled and then the phone went down . I tried again and was told to write to the special place I had been given which has never responded to me .
I went to Brougham Terrace and a woman approached me to say that I would have to leave or she would call security . She said her name was Barbara Rowley . She rang me the next day to tell me to bring gifts to Brougham Terrace which would supposedly be handed to my child . When I went to Brougham Terrace I was waiting for a social worker to come down to collect the gifts and Barbara Rowley approached me . I asked her if she was related to either Judge Rowley of Recorder Rowley . She gave me a slight sneer and told me that it was none of my business as she scuttled away . I reminded her that it was very much my business and if she was related to either of them she should walk away immediately as it would not be appropriate for her to talk to me .
I have no confidence what so ever that the Children`s Commissioner will do anything but receive concocted nonsense saying that the children are having a great time in ” care ” and don`t want to come home . The recordings of contact say otherwise as does the letter to the children commissioner and the witnesses . Of course their parents will not be consulted on anything while the babies and children are used like laboratory monkeys by sadists posing as pantomime doctors working for pharma companies .
If anyone out there wants to help me I would sure appreciate it !
