KCC FGC , independent staff ?Ian Perolls/Susan Webb /Ann Wilson /Denzil Forde Ferguson
Dear Sir or Madam,
Please confirm how Kent County Council clarifies/justifies using an apparently arms length service known as a family group conferencing service, which is supposed to operate mandatory policy, for all children to have a family group meeting to see if any family members are available to care for them, before being are taken into care ; unfortunately this is not always the case and this is not carried out in numerous cases.(Families are simply being by-passed, although this is not Lawful and amounts to Lawful kidnap.)
Mr Perolls, Ian Norman SWANLEY E/1012352 Registered Social Worker , works for the family group conference service as a co-ordinator in Kent. (Paid for by KCC.)
Has he ever worked directly for Kent County Council as a social worker, prior to working for FGC service?
Please confirm if he has ever worked with the current childrens social services manager Susan Webb , and/or severally with Ann Wilson team manager and social worker (Denzil) Forde Ferguson (Gravesend Team.)
Please confirm that these are their current positions and supply their social Care Registration numbers, alongside their history of employment within Kent County Council.
(Mr Perolls is known to have worked with Amanda Barden whilst acting as a children guardian, who attended as a replacement for Ann Wilson one occasion during a FGC meeting )
It is imperative that KCC can show that it operates in an above board and truly independent fashion rather than a closed shop.
Yours faithfully,
Susan Web

Will be interesting to see if Medway Family Court takes any notice of Lord Justice Thorpe and Lord Justice Wall's criticisms, the latter ordered his comments to be circulated to family courts and adoption agencies across the land.
(Could his comments be referring to the Law of the Land)
The Lords appear to recognize that there is a clear difference between the LAW and legal child kidnap; there cannot be Lawful child kidnap.

Dear Susan Web
Under Section 8(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, an applicant
must provide their real name for a request to be valid and fall under the
scope of the Act. I have been looking at your outstanding requests for
information namely...
Freedom of Information request - Geoff Wild Head Legal - signs SS
application/Common Purpose - our reference FOI/09/913
Freedom of Information request - KCC FGC , independent staff ?Ian
Perolls/Susan Webb /Ann Wilson /Denzil Forde Ferguson - our reference
FOI/09/971
Freedom of Information request - Sarah Hollier Cabinet Member -
Cost/Support for Parents/Relatives vs Costs of fostering/adopting
children - our reference FOI/09/992
... and I have good reason to believe that Susan Web is not your real name
and that you are in fact utilising the name of an ex-Kent Council Council
employee involved in children's social work.
KCC will therefore not proceed to consider the above requests, or any
further requests for information by you, or deal with any requests for
review until you are able to provide me with authentic identification
which verifies you are Susan Web, for example an original utility
bill showing your full name and postal address. On receipt of such
evidence, I will progress your requests and will of course be happy to
return any documentation to you without keeping a copy on file. If your
name really is Susan Web, I apologise in advance for any inconvenience
that providing proof of identity may cause you.
If you are unhappy with this decision, and object to providing proof that
you are using your real name, you can appeal to the Information
Commissioner, who oversees compliance with the Freedom of Information Act
2000. Details of what you need to do, should you wish to pursue this
course of action, are available from the Information Commissioner's
website [1]http://www.ico.gov.uk/complaints/freedom...

Dear Sir or Madam/Caroline Dodge,
I can assure you, I am not a ex-staff nor have I been sacked as
your reply suggests.Please state what your 'good' reasons are?
Kent County Council is suggesting that without providing any evidence to backup your theories, the Public are expected to provide proof of ID at your whim?
You are also suggesting that this is Lawful? being merely your interpretation of a statute/act.
Absolutely disgraceful; and strongly resembles a cover-up.Please answer this request FOIA directly.
Yours faithfully,
Susan Web
Dear Susan Web
Thank you for your emails in response to mine.
I did not infer that you were ex-staff; I simply stated that Kent County
Council, to whom you have sent your request, believes you are utilising
the name of a former employee as an alias and are not using your real
name, a necessary requirement under the Freedom of Information Act for a
request to be considered valid. Likewise, I'm not sure how you arrive at
the conclusion that the phrase "ex-Council Council employee" implies that
that person was sacked.
Also, although you addressed two of your three requests to named
individuals; Sarah Hohler & Geoff Wild, it is the public authority, i.e.:
Kent County Council that is subject to the Freedom of Information Act not
it employees or elected members. Therefore any requests for information
under the Act are actually made to KCC (the public
authority) and the process that KCC has for dealing with requests, once
validated, is that they are logged by one of the access to
information officers who then refer the request out to the operational
units that may hold they information requested.
So until you provide proof of your identity as previously requested, KCC
is under no obligation to consider your requests or respond to future
communications. If you believe the Council is acting unlawfully, you
should appeal to the Information Commissioner, whose contact details have
already been provided to you.
Best regards

'West Sussex County Tory Councillor Janet Mockridge has had her grandson stolen by Tory run Kent County Council.
Maidstone Borough ex Tory Councillor
Sheena Williams has had her 4 granddaughters stolen by Kent County Council.
The Tory's must be desperate if they can steal from their own, what a pay back for joining their party. More like a kiss of death.'
This is absolutely shocking and it looks like they are not the only ones according to the rest of the comments on this site, and makes tragic reading.
