So perjury was commited in my case by s.s they did know as I received a copy of an assessment that was intentionally missed from the chronology that made it appear there had been no involvement from the service prior to my daughter been placed in a police rta hospitalised and arrested with her paternal dad. Local council removed evidence including step down plans risk assessment that was already on their system when I was making referrals . Followed complaints process , legal team won't allow my points of complaint in a context I had them and would only allow them if the severity was minimised , stage 1 offered a leaflet then QA response .. paternal side smoke screened services bearing in mind he had already had 3 kids removed with previous spouse and suspect neglect on youngest 2 high risk assessment was on their system. Can't smoke screen that oh he also commited a burglary whilst involvement from another s.worker stepped down and a report sent to education(missing evidence)and also missed from chronology. Stage 2 escalation offered £500 compensation I refused that offer due to severity of daughter's injuries, council then instead of sending to panel after stage 2 to the ombudsman who requested I spend out of my own pocket to take further, contacted social work England who regulate social workers and fit to practice. Considering a s.worker advised my daughter at 14 she is old enough to make a decision as to where. She would like to reside (coercion) as my daughter wasn't legally old enough and social worker should know that or they aren't fit to practice it's legislation and law .also against social worker who committed perjury and after a 12 month plus wait for a response no further action taken against them on plus side head of service had to leave manager under herself and 2 social workers. We pay council tax that contributes to social care to "protect kids" I recently got a video of a social worker openly admitting he would place a child at risk.
How the service can sit patronise and point finger at me after making 16 months of referrals n them deleting evidence to say I need to do this that and other and do nothing in regards to paternal side having contact is bonkers.
A second complaint has gone in as since been under la care she left care no GCSE grades no plan to reside at paternal family social worker was aware of this and now pregnant. Nothing gained for the child just another fat wad put in care providers pockets.

Hi,

here is exactly what you can do for your specific situation to move past their "complaints" trap and hit them where it hurts legally:

1. Demand the "Audit Trail" (The Smoking Gun)
Social Services use digital systems (like Liquidlogic or Mosaic) to store your data. These systems are forensic; they record every single "event"—who logged in, which document they opened, and crucially, who deleted or edited a file.

The Move: Do not just ask for "your files." Submit a Subject Access Request (SAR) to the Data Protection Officer specifically for the "System Audit Logs and Metadata" for your daughter’s records.

The Law: Under Section 173 of the Data Protection Act 2018, it is a criminal offence for a Council officer to erase or alter data to prevent it from being disclosed. If the log shows a manager deleted a risk assessment before a court hearing, you have proof of a crime.

2. Misfeasance in Public Office
The £500 offer you were given is a "bribe" to make you go away because they know they are in trouble. By offering money, they have admitted fault.

The Move: Refuse the offer. Use that admission to find a Civil Litigation Solicitor (not a family lawyer) to sue for Misfeasance in Public Office. This applies when an official acts with "targeted malice" or "reckless indifference" to the harm they cause. Given your daughter's injuries and the deleted evidence, this is your strongest path to real justice.

3. Perjury and Contempt of Court
While there are no juries in Family Court, every social worker signs a Statement of Truth.

The Law: If they intentionally omitted high-risk assessments from a court chronology, they have misled the Judge. This is Contempt of Court.

The Move for you is that You can apply to the Judge for permission to bring committal proceedings. Nothing terrifies a Local Authority more than the threat of a Social Work Manager being sent to prison for lying to a Judge.

4. Your Video Evidence
You mentioned a video of a social worker admitting they would place a child at risk.

The Move: Do not give this to the Council, they will suppress it. Send it directly to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) as part of a formal data complaint and to Social Work England as a high-priority "Fitness to Practice" referral.

They want you to stay in the "Complaints Process" because they control it. You need to move into Data Law and Civil Tort Law. Once you demand the Audit Logs, their ability to lie disappears because the computer records don't lie.
