The Despondent SEN mum @Sencircus23
Trapped in the SEN circus. Shafted and shat on by every agency going by this point. You don’t have to be mad to be a SEN parent but it helps. Warwickshire, England Joined January 2023-

theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/a… The agency worker caring for Ruth had been found guilty of gross negligence manslaughter by a jury although he has fled the country to escape justice The agency worker had never worked at any hospital before the day he was put in charge of observing Ruth , did not receive an induction before his shift and had also used a stolen identity The charity @INQUEST_ORG , which has supported Ruth’s family, expressed concern that the inquest focused on individual failings rather than systemic ones such as the lack of therapeutic care for children, inadequate staff training and out-of-area placements. It said: “The focus has fallen on individual failures, not the deep-rooted issues plaguing Huntercombe and children’s mental health services nationally. Until we face those head-on, more children like Ruth will die.” Ian Wade KC, an assistant coroner, said there had been an “abject failure” by Acheampong to observe Ruth. Dr Amit Chatterjee, the chief medical officer at Active Care Group, which owned and ran Huntercombe, told the inquest that the company had worked hard to improve recruitment and its induction process. And it appears @ThamesVP have no intention of dragging the agency worker back to face justice, despite knowing his true identity and despite a jury making findings on gross negligence man slaughter in inquest court @ShabanaMahmood @CPSUK

Mum calls for change after daughter's suicide bbc.in/3WtlQhI

@martinimarie Hello all, does anyone have experience of carers in the home? My daughter is due to return home from a CAMHS unit in the next few weeks. Currently discussing care package with SS. Never had carers before so will be a big adjustment for us.
My sweet Sammy has left this world but please support "Sammy's Foundation" and join us in this journey of change and hope for others. Thankyou to everybody who has donated so far. Your help is making such a difference. 🙏❤️
My beautiful son joins the roll call of children and young, vulnerable people killed by ignorance and callousness. I still can’t believe what was done. There will be many more because there is no will to protect them.

If parents are not listened to, another child, like sweet Sammy, could die. On Day 1 of his inquest, I read out my emotional 40 page witness statement. We needed 40 pages to document all the neglect, torment, abuse & refusals. 💔 #neglect #childloss #sammy4change

Thank you everyone who has shared, commented and complained about the conduct of the Cllrs at the @Warwickshire_CC scrutiny meeting. I've been made aware that Cllr Golby has claimed that the sharing of her comments and the offensive and hurt this has caused is "harassment". She blocked me after I shared my thread so I haven't seen her statement. I have seen no harassment, only shock and hurt. Elected Officials should be held to a high standard. When they fail in their duties, break their code of conduct and cause harm to the people they represent, they should be held to account. This would be the case in any position but it is especially important in politics. It may have been a shock to Cllr Golby to be held to account over her actions. A knee jerk defensive response has followed. She should now reflect on her actions and whether she is the right person to represent her constituents. I hope an apology will follow.
@toady The fear of losing my job constantly looms over me with each new crisis. Just adds to the stress.
@jennipisces Yes after the first ten or so I started to figure that out 😂 think I should deliver the courses at this point.
