Some of the members on here may have read a previous post about a social worker who lied in Court (http://www.legalbeagles.info/forums/...rts&highlight=). Well, now the successor of that social worker has written to the nursery school which the children are attending, claiming in the letter that one parent alone had been given sole parental responsibility for making decisions about their education and all other matters. This is a lie as the court order gave that one parent residence only. The order states only that the children would reside with the one parent, with contact for the other. It makes no statement or instructions about decision making or other parental responsibilities. What can be done about this to correct the situation? It would obviously be pointless just telling the school without providing proof, as they would probably, just like everyone else, believe the social worker without question! Would showing the court order to the headmaster of the school to confirm the facts of the order constitute disclosure of court proceedings in the family matter and therefore be a contempt of court; if so what else can be done?

Re: Now Social Worker Lies to School.
Just adding this.
Is there a court order that specifically gives one parent authority over education than the other?"Family means that no one gets forgotten or left behind"

Re: Now Social Worker Lies to School.
In my original post: "This is a lie as the court order gave that one parent residence only. The order states only that the children would reside with the one parent, with contact for the other. It makes no statement or instructions about decision making or other parental responsibilities. "
There is NO order as to parental responsibility and therefore this is shared between the parents as in law, not given to one party as misrepresented by the social worker!

Re: Now Social Worker Lies to School.
Sending your friend the letter when they are not even party to proceedings to do with the child and have nothing to do with their upbringing, either teacher or nursery school worker, is a breach of the Data Protection Act 1998.Originally posted by Colin21958 View Post
Get a copy of the letter and, if you can, email the social worker with a scan of the letter and play dumb. Your friend received the letter and was questioning you about it all and you have said that it was probably a mistake. Ask her whether it was and if not, to clarify why she has sent out the letter since there is no court order to this effect.
Sometimes, playing dumb can get more results than telling them that they breached the DPA 1998"Family means that no one gets forgotten or left behind"

Re: Now Social Worker Lies to School.
The social worker sent the letter to her, not the school! They sent her a copy of the letter that they sent to the school. So, not sure what you are talking about. Please clarify...Comment

Re: Now Social Worker Lies to School.
You need to play dumb as to why the letter was sent to the friend(that is a breach of Data Protection Act 1998). You need to find out why she sent it to the school since there is no court agreement that states that one parent has more authority over the education of the child.
Does that clarify it?"Family means that no one gets forgotten or left behind"
