[Stacy22]

This may be a stange one ile try to be brief
I was in care in 92 in a home went on a holiday ended up in a really freach accident a ride that nearly cost my life a big compay owned it ,I was led to belive socail serives sued as the company another fault the brake on the ride appently was broke even before I got on it I fly of the tracks and went mid air and was bradly hurt rushed to hosptail ,

I was lead to belive a claim was put on by the s/ s I never though more of it and was told if a claim was given I would get 18 ,
i got on with my life marred children etc ,
recently I got my files and half missing , stuff about this accident and others things happen in the home
I emailed the local area team and the big co rang me he said how bad it was their should claimed duty of care etc now my other part of my files get if looked for to see if out in there , today been confirmed the courts hold no funds no claim was ever put in this was a clear cut case back then as how bad the accident went the ride did get close down for 7 years only opened in 2010

i have apgathered evidance to this last few days ,my medical notes my gp confirms there was a accident in 92 i says were and the children home took me to do gp for pain relief afrer as I was really ill , and badly hurt took six mth to recover spent time dog collar wasnt allowned it of for good three mth scaring to my face list goes on , the home took pictures of me and the site as when I fly thou the air I landed and took a hut pannel out r,
I have got a witness who was there at the timethis person I not seen for 20 years so totally impartail , I also got names of career from the home who was looking after me ,and was there accident ,

i was never told once no claim was never put in the socail serives let this go ststus Barr and lost my claim to claim as I thought it was put in i was led to
belive was ,

i spoken to a legsl firm willing to take it to a no win no fee she said she take it on as its a case I would win on tottaly failure duty care plus I have prove my medical gp notes

socail serives big boss is trying is hardest to find there files and this information. As he said legal there have to be kept for 85 years there was three admissions I was in the home one for the accident , one loss of a babys, and obe other one due to hesth issues none logged in ,y s/ s records or there lost this would come under data protection which there can get fined for ,
lawyer says I have a strong case as the balance of possblites is on my side and due to it seems there lost the file and never folloed legsl produes to this case in 92 is a lack duty of care as if a child had a accident to this scale amy parent would seek justice , s/s was my care givers failed me

on the above info does amy one think I got a strong case to claim damages agaist s/s for the loss that I could got from this accident due to there tottsly failure in meeting the needs of a child in there care looking for advice thanks do you think I should get legal involved or ask for a companion without taking it to court as no s/s would like this in court please help thanks

Re: Need advice

Well Stacy I know nothing about the law and the more judgements I read the more confused I get! However, in my humble and very ignorant opinion I think you should pursue this. I think you are going in the right direction by seeing a solicitor. Social Services had a duty of care and they were very negligent if you ask me so I would ‘sock it to them’. To be honest, the fact that there is a chunk of your file missing is very, very fishy.
Go for it, you have nothing to lose and try not to get down if it drags on. Good luck to you and keep us posted on your progress.

Re: Need advice

You could try a SAR request to the council for your data (https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations...ccess-request/) that way you'll have the files yourself ...

or; have a word with your MP and see if they can pressure your council to retrieve them at their own cost??

Re: Need advice

Bless you, Stacy - I hope this finally goes well for you. It takes courage to do what you're doing but it's the right thing and with any luck it will help close yet another appalling loophole in the "care" system whereby the most vulnerable and trusting amongst us get their needs neglected.

Everyone here will want to help & support in any way we can and please do let us know how it goes :hug:
