Last year @suffolkcc promised a £450k investment into family services to increase staff. An FOI this year evidenced it never really happened. Now they've renamed the service to 'prevent confusion'.

£450,000 promised to increase staff in family services. Staff in FS has not particularly increased. @suffolkcc 'it's complicated'. No, it's really not.

It's the 10th April. So far this month @suffolkcc
have 8 upheld @LGOmbudsman
decisions finding them at fault for #SEND failures. That's almost £21,000 in 10 days of symbolic payments. Who is being held accountable? Precisely no one that's who

This Government can never claim to care about mental health.
The damage they have done already is huge, and they will never get my trust back or be forgiven.

Recently moved to adult social care
@suffolkcc Been waiting 10 mths just for a care plan to be written. Clearly just as much of a mess as children's services *sigh*

Children's Social Care in Suffolk summed up in one picture
They trained 81 people last year. That's £3753 per person trained. But it's not costed per person so how do we know where the money is actually going? What's it buying? Is this running at a loss? A profit? Is it value for money? So many questions.
