Best Department of Social Servicess in United Kingdom

Neglectful, dispassionate, disorganised, unprofessional and useless.

Slow

I have been bullied by one of their officers. Make the statement different from what I have said. If you are not at risk, they don’t care about you. Abolish this organisation, people’s taxes are wasting for them. This is useless, the more you get depressed because of them.

Between them and the hospital words have been twisted regarding elderly parent. They will generate paperwork to try to cover themselves..not do a job that helps your family member. Mums health has declined far quicker thanks to these and neglecting medical places .

Deserves zero really, most disgusting organisation ever. creates whatever story they want. Absolute homewreakers no wonder so many men commit suicide.

Reporting safeguarding a waste of time. They spend a few visits being conned by manipulative resident parent and get the impression the child is safe. The SW was either gullible or under qualified. Let’s hope we are not witnessing yet another tragedy in waiting.
I’m sure they have plenty of loving parents to target with perfect babies for needy impatient adopters that they would prefer to spend our taxes on

I just hope people have the strength to battle this evil establishment. They do not care, it's just a pay check. People, please do not be afraid or intimidated. Remember they are not above the law and always get legal advice from the get go. Pure evil!! Corum is an AMAZING establishment to gain advocacy for our youth.

Am a maternal grandmother who has had nothing but trouble with Lambeth childrens social services have treated us as a family really badly. They have used my metal health my childhood history against me . Have lied time after time and every time has been proven wrong, presented things in court that aren’t true. Discriminated against myself for being half Spanish and Irish and my partner for being a traveller. Discriminated my child for being trans and also accused and presented too court that our daughter killed her son which is not true.Been sworn at by this said social worker , and told because I don’t live in borough she would do everything for us not too have him placed in our care. I am speaking out for everyone , who has came through any sort of discrimination will dealing with any social services not only Lambeth. There should be a law in place too safeguard grandparents and offer them legal aid too.Being discriminated by a doctor who called someone my Age old at 51. Also be very careful because the said social worker , always tape you without your knowledge. As far as special guardianship are they also don’t tell the truth and I did what social did too us , I taped him. Firstly he said our grandson could live with us and as it turns out they lied; So for everyone out there grandparents uncles aunties , everyone we need too stand together and fight for our family. Nobody should ever have the amount of power too paint u in a bad light.
Please leave any comments down below and Sophia ink can u contact me plz

If I could I would give a 0 star review as the social sercice are incredibly unreliable and are very narcissistic, they are demons in disguise.

Treated me like a criminal for having tattoos (I'm a qualified paid employed tattoo artist locally) and having a black child with an abusive man....they judge anyone with mental illness including trauma and ptsd. Practically blames me for my abuse ...threaten to take my daughter even though they have nothing or no grounds to do so. Since there involvement my mental health has been at its worst....they have used my trauma against me and made up lies....I have evidence of at least 4 occasions of them making mistakes which is scary when kids are involved..they have penalised me and my family over and over again that I feel like I'm back in an abusive relationship again but with lambeth sw. I will be talking my story to the press and channel4...WATCH THIS SPACE!

I’ve phoned David Thompson many times concerning the care package that he put in place (or lack of care package) he doesn’t answer the phone or return my calls. Meanwhile my mother is suffering with an inconsistent care agency.

Very angry with the social services after waiting more than 2years to get some services 2years after the care plan was approved . Then my social worker and myself arrange for certitude to look after the person I care for, last Tuesday all were fine my social worker call me and say it will be around 2 months from today . Today i came back home to find someone at my door in the evening telling me they are taking the person I look after now ...i didn't know this agency no one contacted us ...i said no way ...2 hours after their manager call me to tell me they are coming back tommorow, I told them no as we had book another agency that I trust and know. They told me someone call Paul send them the care plan ...i don't know Paul he isn't my social worker ! I am furious. This can really affect the health of the disabled person who suffer from very high anxiety and NEAD condition. I am very very angry that the social service don't care at all about the disabled how can I will ever trust them .

So unprofessional people really bad organised.

Is this an actual number being displayed for Social Services!

Most social workers helpful, one or two bad apples.

I had dealings with Fiona Rowe regarding my 2 children. Absolutely awful experience. Our meeting started with her cigarette breath smelling so awful it made me feel sick. Then her 1 sided approach supporting my ex partner not believing anything I said even when I had documents to prove what I was saying was true. I hope I would never deal with her again.

6 weeks past their deadline for a call back and after 3 times being told I won't have to wait much longer... I've decided to just suffer =)

Lambeth Social services are an abomination. My mother has delirium superimposed on dementia. The delirium was caused by an extended stay in hospital when they were accusing me of abusing her. They supplied a sitting service so I could have a few hours respite a week, one of their employees nearly killed my mother when she sprayed an aerosol in front of her - mother had to be rushed to hospital in respiratory distress. For three years she has had a personal care company who rarely carried out a visit safely, they were also abusive and destructive to the property. They sent a social worker to see how they could support me, instead he spent three hours harassing me (mother’s 24/7 carer) and abusing my mother by depriving her of food, fluids and vital medications.

These are just some of the problems we have experienced with Lambeth Social services.

Legal Criminals. What a disgrace. Qualified without logic. Reported a safeguarding issue regarding the neglect of an elderly person by their child. They called the child and the elderly person got more verbal abuse. When I called them to ask WHY? they told me thats what they have to do because the person is the power of attorney.

In 10+ years I have been there this child has never taken them out , has never hugged them, has NO photos of the two of them together, verbally abuses and ignores their wishes, has never sat with them for 5 minutes, has emptied their bank account (over £80,000). The list is endless but this is fine with the social services because it's his child. Even though there is no love or care shown and the elderly person. Now the child has stopped them getting bank statements altogether.

I am perplexed and think we have some serious issues - Laws that need to be changed. I encourage all to not just grumble but to take stand. It';s not about winning or losing but about trying. Everything I write can be backed up.
