Welcome to New Unity-Injustice

 

My name is Yvonne coulter I am the co-founder of Unity-Injustice group. I have set up this web site through my own tragic experiences when I lost my daughter to forced adoption by social services.

 

 

Now 17 years later my daughter and I are now happily reunited and campaigning for change in current Social Services child protection procedures and a end to secrecy in Family Courts Read our full story

 

We are a voluntary organisation set up by parents to help and support families with children who are experiencing problems with UK Social Services.

 

Unity-Injustice is a support and information organisation that has grown out of an increasing number of parents (carers, guardians etc) frustrated at attempting to work with Social Services in the best interests of their child/children. Initially a campaign organisation looking to change views over the legitimacy and ethics of ‘forced adoption’ the organisation has grown to encompass support for individuals at any point in the investigative processes operated by Social Services. In only our first 15months after our launch over a thousand families have contacted us for help affecting approximately three thousand children. Given we are a virtually unknown support group there must be hundreds of thousands affected right across the UK.

Social Services frequently claim children are "at risk" of "physical "or more often "emotional" harm from their parents, so is all this money spent putting children into care worthwhile?

Emotional abuse is viewed as a standardised term that allows Social Services a wide remit for inferring in private family life. Much of the outcome of individual reports is little more than prophesying with ‘professional opinion’.

Decisions are reached in Family Court - In a court that keeps no records of outcomes of cases so we just don’t know if the decisions they are making for thousands of families each year are the right ones? A court that as never carried out any case research? A court in a 5 Billion pound a year industry that keeps no proper financial accounts? A court where social workers and officials operate in absolute secrecy. A court responsible for failing thousands of young lives each year resulting in the social catastrophe we all witness in our country each day?

As a result of intervention by the Local Authority many of the parents (hereinafter to read as any individual with responsibility to care for a child or children) requesting assistance from Unity Injustice are finding that contact with their children is being used by Social Services to force ‘compliance’ with their demands without any attempt by Social Services to explain the methodology of their demands, nor in our view, with due regard for the parent’s legal or human rights.

Indeed it appears that despite the spirit of the Children Act requiring and recognising the right of children to have contact with family and friends and for this contact to be facilitated and supported by the Local Authority, this is not the case in practice. Consequently, parent(s), grandparents, extended family and friends are finding that they have no ‘legal rights’ to contact with the accommodated child and those Social Services have absolute power in this regard.

Often and despite research findings and Government guidance, Local Authorities are placing children in locations that are difficult if not impossible for parents and others to visit accommodated children. Further, it is commonplace in our experience, for Social Services to sever contact between parents, extended family and friends with the accommodate child on the basis that the child’s behaviour worsens after such visits. The emotional trauma of the accommodation process together with the emotional loading of seeing family and friends and not being able to be reunited with them is likely to adequately explain many if not all of these behaviours. It is, in our view, disgusting that Social Services would frame such behaviours in a way so as to blame the parents! Further, it seems inhumane to suggest that the best option or alternative is to cease contact between the child and their family and friends (this includes siblings).
