From the desk in North Wales:

‘So there is a God after all’ must be words uttered by Sharon Shoesmith. This is a brilliant result: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13582644
And: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/baby-p/8541521/Baby-P-Sharon-Shoesmith-in-line-for-1-million-tax-funded-payout-over-unfair-and-unlawful-treatment.html among other reports. Oh, one supposes one should also mention Community Care: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2011/05/27/116898/shoesmith-wins-appeal-and-likely-to-get-1m-compensation.htm
Shoesmith was the scapegoat of all scapegoats in modern times – she deserved not to have a whole pile of shit dumped on her by Haringey Council, those utter fucking idiots Ofsted and least of all by that evil bastard Balls. If this result were only to put Balls to shame it would be a triumph worth its weight in gold, but of course it puts a whole host of others in the firing line.

Playing politics with the tragic death of a child is not only disgraceful but very unwise, as this cased has eventually gone on to illustrate. Shoesmith, for whatever failings, was made a social work martyr and she aint even a social worker! It just goes to show that anyone resembling a social worker is likely to get huge amounts of crap poured on them, just for the hell of it. Very convenient for the likes of Balls (he is such an evil twat) but not exactly enlightened, informative or likely to lead to better practice.
Ofsted – well they are of course just a joke, not unlike the GSCC and its sister organisations in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The likes of Balls (and it now also seems Gove – who Wilt thought better of) and these quango are all in cahoots. ‘You watch my back and I will watch yours’ comes to mind.
Over the time that Regulator Watch has existed Wilt has had numerous emails from disgruntled registered social workers and social care workers who have, quite frankly, been harassed by the GSCC (especially) and its neighbours. Some have sought advice, others remarked on the piss poor quango and, for the most part, very grateful subscribers who have found Regulator Watch an absolute Godsend and a root to reality whilst under immense pressure. Only the other day did one correspondent say that they were released from their torture by the GSCC after months of irrelevant enquiries which it admitted were not really necessary – they apologised and said they had new procedures to avoid putting registrants to the test when it could be obvious there was no case to answer.

That rang a bell with Wilt – a close friend of his (pursued by Calleja and Plaskitt) for many years had a visit from a senior GSCC officer to deliver a personal apology. This was sometime in 2006/7 when that GSCC officer said: ‘Please do not quote me but she [Calleja] is vexatious.’ He went on, and this is the key point, ‘We now have in place procedures where this cannot happen again.’ Mmmmmmm we think.
There is no doubt whatsoever that Plaskitt (former MP and utter twat) and Calleja of Leamington Spa have any further currency with the GSCC, Ofsted, the police, parliament, the Information Commissioner or local authorities – they are quite frankly tagged as ‘toxic.’ They are simply a danger to public wisdom, the taxpayers of the UK (with their endless complaints) and common sense.
It seems the GSCC are having trouble again in promulgating anything remotely ‘common sense’ or even the concept of justice to its officers. They carry on, very highly paid with magnificent conditions of service, with aplomb, and quite frankly do not give a shit. They are a total and utter waste of space – the sooner they are made defunct the better.

Whereas there are dozens upon dozens of Care Standards Tribunal findings against the GSCC: http://www.justice.gov.uk/guidance/courts-and-tribunals/tribunals/care-standards/index.htm there are countless other not reported actions by the GSCC because they do not come to fruition – mostly because they should never have been commenced in the first place and hence, being held in private, never come to public attention. We know this because of our correspondents – Wilt would wish they publish (anonymously) their messages on Regulator Watch – but he is bound by a faith of confidentiality not to publish online some very desperate and sad stories of registrants.
Wilt will never disclose private correspondence, unless you are Plaskitt or Calleja – both have previous ‘form’ when it comes to breaching confidentiality, whether from ‘abusing’ Parliamentary privilege or just ignoring behaviour which one might regard as reasonable of a ‘normal’ person. Regrettably Calleja is far from normal.
And so Sharon, what now my dear? Not again we think a Director of Children’s services, even if you wanted it. Take the money you rightfully will deserve, make wise investments and just relax – you deserve it.

We wish you well.
