I made a complaint to my local authority in July this year regarding my time in their care. When in their care I had a sexual relationship with my Foster carer I was 15 she was 43. The placement broke down and I went back into residential care. I never informed anyone at the time. Fast forward 5/6 years I contacted the Foster carer and told her I wasn't happy with what happened and that I want her to leave her job as a teaching assistant in the school I attended at the end of the call she said she will say I raped her so I shit myself and didn't take it any further. A few months later I got arrested by police as she claimed that I had blackmailed her. I told the police the true story that had been abused in her care and gave them information that she got the morning after pill the first time we had sex and her husband had a vasectomy and if you check her drs that will confirm this. Her son also walked in on me with my hands down there. The police went away and confirmed what I had said with the drs. All the time I told the police I didnt want to go to court I didnt want anyone knowing my business but they were pushing to go with it. Anyway the cps came back and said it was not in the publics best interests to go ahead with the case and I was relieved at the time. I was working for the local authority and had 2 jobs with them at the time of the blackmail complaint against me which I was suspended from my job from and on completion of the investigation I lost my job.
Back to my complaint. The council admitted fault to me after a meeting and said more wasn't done at the time to find out why the placement had broke down. Also that I should have been informed what implications this had on the Foster carer at the end of the police investigation. They admitted they knew I was telling the truth ( I had always believed they thought I was making this up for the last 10 years). I was offered no support whatsoever following the conclusion of the investigation and never heard from them again. I have had counselling this year for the matter and I informed the council I want compensation which I have out in writing. I am dont know were to go for legal help as most firms want paying a retainer which is in the thousands. Any help or advice would be really appreciated.
thanks
