A learning disabled woman who was abused in care had her case disconitnued after the Police decided that she was not a credible witness. Medical reports confirmed the abuse but an investigation could not establish who did the assaults. The family has contacted the site to request help and to get me to pressure the Social Services to provide them with respite care. The Social Servcies Department has failed to deliver this despite a legal requirement on them to do so. The family are also trying to funding for new treatment for their daughter and the London Social Services Unit have not been helpful. The family have struggled to get a local law firm to take a compensation claim against the carers because many of the firms have a relationship with the local social services department.

Comment: I have contacted the department concerned and politely asked them to review your case. Please let me know what progress you make.I now have a solicitor's firm who will also review your case which I will pass on. I hope things get better in the year new.
