To further recap: (This Is Part 4)

Mrs C was, with Plaskitt MP, did whatever they could to destroy Happen Fostercare or “Happiness” as referred to in the Spectator article, here:

http://www.spectator.co.uk/essays/all/3061606/after-baby-p-the-crisis-in-child-foster-care.thtml#comments

that was published in December 2008 – not that the Spectator did anything else other than meet a total stranger on a train station platform and report her side of the facts. Was “Tom, Dick or Harriett” asked their opinion – well no, of course because Mary Wakefield seemingly, according to some reports, has a bit of a fixation with big black folders and no journalistic talents, or at least she (Mary Wakefield) was just lazy and incompetent.

Well, that was December 2008 – Mrs C (her of the big black folder) was by this stage desperate to find a new audience – indeed anyone who might listen to here.

Let us return however to four years earlier………..

Plaskitt MP in the autumn of 2004 delivered his now infamous and shameful speech to the House of Commons and a certain David Cameron (then a relatively unknown MP) intervened on behalf of his constituents, the Directors of Happen Fostercare. It was a shameful exploitation by Plaskitt of Parliamentary privilege, naming and shaming all and sundry but at the same time protecting the identity of his “constituent” who in later press articles and in the CSCI Internal Review Report was identified as Mrs C.

The Plaskitt (utterly shameful and cowardly) speech was widely reported in the press, without of course, any opportunity for any of the individuals or Happen Fostercare having an opportunity to comment.  Odd, since Mrs C complains she is not afforded any voice! Hmmmmm.

Identifying Mrs C is not difficult – by her MPs admission she is both a constituent and a foster carer – she therefore lives in Warwick/Leamington Spa. She was previously a foster carer with Happen Fostercare and (among other avatars) has been named in the press as Mrs C or Ms A. So reader, and Wilt knows many of you already know, it does not take a lot to know who this individual is, especially among those numerous agencies she frequently contacts i.e. GSCC, Ofsted etc., etc. Yet she complains of having been “outed” by others, harassed even – Mmmmmmm.

The outcome of the press reports (added to the circulation of the flawed/unlawful Judy Downey report widely circulated by Mrs C) was for Happen Fostercare to experience extreme prejudice and a shying away by local authorities to use their services. Why? Quite simply local authorities aim to minimise their liability and cognisant of that fact both Mrs C and Dork Plaskitt MP intended that be the outcome – in short to destroy Happen Fostercare in order to recover or retain the status of Mrs C. What status you ask – well that is a good question?  All will be revealed.

Happen Fostercare (“Happiness” in Spectator speak) had by the time of the Plaskitt debacle complained of the unfair treatment afforded them by the Regulator – like being investigated but not interviewed and the Regulator (in the form of its predecessor the NCSC) providing Mrs C with a report (which Happen knew nothing about) and consequently were blissfully ignorant of. Yes Ms Downey, Dork of the profession, which was you – we wonder if she is GSCC Registered?

Happen Fostercare (and again I reiterate it is not the agency which exists today) had a hell of a time. Mrs C and basket Case Plaskitt (not much longer to be an MP with a curious eating disorder based on his claims for food on his expenses) created absolute fucking havoc at huge public expense, which even at that time was a dead issue. Now, my mate “Paul”, looked on in horror at all this – his heart sank when seeing the plight of the Henderson’s and could not believe that this Mrs C and her TWAT MP could be allowed to get away with such fucking nonsense. The impact on the individuals was devastating, and that of course is what was intended – Mrs C was going to destroy them, and at the same time illustrate to the world that she was little Ms perfect victimised by others. That is what she would like people to believe. Read on – get the facts.

This was now late 2004/early 2005. “Paul” continued to have occasional work from Happen Fostercare on various pieces of work – just to remind you “Paul” acted (at least tried to) as a mediator between Mrs C and Happen Fostercare in 2002. Instead Mrs C “copped out” and ran away, she hoped, to another IFA (Independent Fostering Agency) but in fact ended up with a Midlands local authority. By this time Mrs C had an acceptance of responsibility for failure to disclose relevant facts from Northamptonshire County Council, and they gave her a written apology (in 2002). So what the fuck was the issue remaining in 2004? What possessed this DORK to continue with her complaints?

Madness? That is the widely – and I mean widely – held view (ask any at the GSCC, Ofsted, DH etc., etc.) among most.  Evilness? That has a minority view but it is equally compelling. Probably it is a mixture of the two. Either way, she is persistent as evidenced by her reports (with the assistance of oddball Plaskitt) to the press and complaints up to this day in 2010 – 8 years later. And there is no sign of her giving up.

Anyway, in late 2004 our man “Paul” who is an excellent social worker was appointed, by competitive interview, as the Independent Chairman of both a local authority Adoption Panel and Fostering Panel – it transpired to be the local authority who had registered Mrs C in 2002 after she departed Happen Fostercare. Realising this connection, “Paul” gave a voluntary written declaration of a potential conflict of interest and resolved that he would always stand down as Chairman whenever an agenda item concerning Mrs C appeared. That seems very reasonable to me.

Up until this time “Paul” had no contact with Mrs C (since early 2002) and quite frankly had no desire to do so given his knowledge of her persistent harassment of Happen Fostercare, with the help of basket Case Plaskitt MP. She had hitherto and up until that point not regarded “Paul” as either relevant or even circumstantial to her case against Happen Fostercare, so “peripheral” and inconsequential was his involvement. He was not mentioned by Plaskitt in his disgraceful speech to the House of Commons, nor had she complained about “Paul.” So, nothing to worry about then? Wrong, big time!

Within weeks the (mad/evil –depending on your perspective) Mrs C had made a complaint to the GSCC of “Paul’s” appointment as Independent Chairman! Why, well that is of little mystery as facts further unfold but at the time Paul was not aware of the complaint and as matters transpired it withered away and amounted to nothing, until Mrs C found the energy to make a more substantial complaint in the following year (and in the interim attempted to convince a host of well known agencies – in some cases convincingly – to believe “Paul” was a “fraud”, dishonest, unprofessional, falsified his credentials/experience and was in cahoots with Happen Fostercare to destroy her as a foster carer. This being odd as “Paul” did everything possible to distance himself from this evil bastard.

However, just before the SECOND complaint to the GSCC “Paul” started to receive “threatening” unprovoked fax and letters from Mrs C, and these are published here:

Mrs C Letters 2005

These are not redacted in any way other than to exclude the address of the parties and their names – unlike Mrs C we prefer to protect identities and respect private life. Mrs C however identifies herself – make of her attitude and approach as you will. We think it rather revealing of her attitude. And as Winston Churchill illustrated, attitude is a small thing with potential for big consequences, and rather telling of the individual.

Now “Paul” was utterly baffled – he was accused of making disingenuous comments about Mrs C and circulating them. Mrs C was WRONG on both accounts as will be illustrated later in the ongoing release of data via this blog.

This is now 2005 – Mrs C (or as she truly can be identified in her letters to “Paul”) is reliably determined to be mother earth and sole adjudicator on matters well beyond her competence to even sniff at, let alone judge. Not that different from the GSCC who will feature greatly in the next chapter of this very sad story – and the GSCC now regard Mrs C (somewhat belatedly) as “vexatious”. Now, where have I heard that description before? Was it the CSCI – YES! Perhaps SMBC – YES! Possibly everyone else in private – YES! Is it true – YES! And did a certain gentleman from the GSCC say “Do not quote me but she [Mrs C] is vexatious” – YES!

We will leave it here for now, Part 5 of Mrs C and the GSCC to follow shortly. In it you will find “Paul’s” reply to Mrs C –and it pulled no punches.
