How to save that 100Bn

Government says:-
Grandparents are very important in children’s lives.

Government does:-
They refuse to acknowledge grandparents by law as relevant persons in their grandchildren’s lives, and also refuse to make mandatory the Charter for Grandchildren. This was created by a Scottish government for families and professionals to look more closely at the role grandparents can play in children’s lives.

Conclusion:-
The government’s actions are sending a message to the general public that grandparents do not matter and families are adopting that attitude rather than attempt to resolve family disputes by mediation. This results in enormous costs for legal aid and court appearances that clog up the system.. Why are they doing this when they tell us that grandparents are important in children’s lives? Grandparents don’t get a chance to be important when social services refuse to speak or acknowledge them regarding their children.

Social services say:-
They acknowledge grandparents.

Social services does:-
Ignore grandparents if they have anything to say about how their grandchildren are being treated and tell them “we don’t need to speak to you” which, as we all know, has not been in the best interests of quite a few children of late?
This points out, right or wrong, they are doing it anyway, in their own best interests.

Conclusion:-
The removal of children and telling them their grandparents do not want to see them demoralises children and makes them bitter and unmanageable. Is it a wonder that grandparents are unwilling to report any neglect or abuse because they are afraid they will be the first to lose any contact? They try to handle it themselves and end up being alienated from the family who is in badly need of help.

Woman’s Aid says;-
Their focus is on the welfare of violence towards women but still say grandparents are important in a child’s live.

Woman’s Aid does:-
Their actions at meetings in tutoring mothers how to avoid contact with the paternal side of the family is depriving children of their father and paternal grandparents when they have done no wrong.

Conclusion:-
The government funds an organisation whose policies are focussed only on themselves and totally in opposition to family unity which is not in the best interests of children. We tried to liaise with them about a Charter for Women for good practise but they have ignored us.
