Have any of you had occasion formally to make a complaint about the ministry?We are told by the Ministry of Children that it is possible to lodge a complaint.
When you have concerns about the care of your child in the foster care program or when you have a concern about a social worker, you are entitled to make your complaint known. Have you ever done this?
When you have a complaint about a social worker or when you cannot make contact with your SW, you are encouraged to speak with that SW's supervisor. Of course, to do that, you may have to ask the social worker for the name and phone number of their supervisor. Has that worked?
You are told that you can write a letter detailing your concern directly to the social worker with a copy to the supervisor and to request reconsideration of a decision or an action. Have you done this?
Beyond that, the Ministry of Children does have a formal complaint resolution process for which you may call at no charge to 1-877-387-7027 asking for the dispute resolution consultant in your area. Have you tried that and if so, how did it go?
When that is unhelpful, you can call the Board of Registration for Social Workers of BC. Their phone number is (604) 737-4916 (in Vancouver). If the social worker is registered with that board, you can file a complaint with the board. However, social workers are not required to be registered and many SWs are not registered.
Some people turn to their MLA, (Member of the Legislative Assembly), their elected representative. Have you done this?
You might contact your Ombudsman if you are getting help nowhere else, by calling (250) 387-5855 (in Victoria) or 1-800-567-3247 (elsewhere in BC; call no charge). Have you called that number?
When your complaint is about the care being received in a foster situation by your child, call the Representative for Children and Youth of BC. The phone number is (250) 356-0831 (in Victoria) or 1-800-476-3933 (elsewhere in BC; call no charge). E-mail them at cyo@gov.bc.ca. If you have made contact with this office of the watchdog on the Ministry of Children, have you had a satisfactory result?
The Baynes, Paul and Zabeth of Surrey, unsuccessfully did all of the above over the course of three years. Then in the fourth year they were occupied with a court case, which while it didn't result in a ruling that automatically returned their children to them, did have an order that legally affected interaction between parents and Ministry which eventuated in the reunion of parents and their four children in August 2011. But that was four years that these children were removed from their parents. That was an outrageous miscarriage of governance and should be viewed as an affront to civil liberty by the citizenry of our province.
They are ecstatically enjoying family life now. I am trusting that Derek and Amie do not have to wait so long for Ayn to be returned to them. These delays are unconscionable.
Good evening Ron!
ReplyDeleteI see no comments at your repeated questions so far. Nobody ever sent more complaints to so many public servants - reports of illegal acts initiated by the Ministry than I. To my knowledge, and after years of searching, no case of stronger evidence of deliberate illegal acts committed against a child and family exist, though countless cases of persecution of (mainly native) children and families had much, much worse outcome. I copy the first two paragraphs from the latest, 4 pg long report, which I email almost daily, presently to 888 public servants of all kind.
My fellow citizens,
Should you still have any, this fractional Report of Public Officers’ Crimes will completely wipe out your remaining pride in being a Canadian. Kindly examine a few copies of this case’s official documents to discover true character, morals and values of your social workers, mental health healers, policemen, lawyers, judges and politicians. Judge the cover up of grossly illegal acts, committed on the basis of horrible lies, intentionally fabricated despite detailed official documents, full of the exactly opposite facts. In the Intake Report, the first of deceitful public servants fabricated false accusations: "parents do not protect children from abuse", "sexual abuse/exploitation or likelihood by parent". In the following, Investigative Report, she justified her horrible lies: "due to the lack of more appropriate categories" in the Provincial Child, Family and Community Act, S 13 When protection is needed. And she confessed: "there is no evidence that the parents are sexually abusing any child in the home, nor there is evidence that the parents are not protecting the children." However, there is evidence how Christian brothers and sisters despise the God’s Commandment: ”you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor” by managing and covering-up the ensuing persecution.
Many readers know that ignorance of the law is no excuse for criminal actions. And some of you even know S. 137 of the Criminal Code: “Every one who, with intent to mislead, fabricates anything with intent that it shall be used as evidence in a judicial proceeding, existing or proposed, by any means other than perjury or incitement to perjury is guilty of an indictable offence”. From the universal cover-up of many resulting crimes, intentionally committed against my then newly immigrated 12-year-old son and my family, discover your representatives’ utter contempt for the laws, rules, rights and freedoms, health and lives of second class citizens. May you finally find the courage to condemn illegal activities of the most immoral liars and most dangerous fraudsters among you, instead of funding and remunerating such "services" with your tax money.
And, as always, I thank you very much for all your very useful work!

Thank you for your comment. Only those who walk in our shoes know the truth and the ultimate pain - being powerless to defend own children. GOOD LUCK!!!
DeleteContacting the board of SW may or may not help. MCFD SW are not required to register, and some SW have a bachelor of Child & Youth Care (but complete child welfare specialization the same as a bachelor of social work requires - both are 4 year degrees with extra courses and 4 practicum/internships) so aren't accepted into board of SW even if they want to enter.
ReplyDeleteThe board of SW doesn't offer anything to MCFD sw that the union (BCGEU) doesn't anyway so why pay two sets of dues? It makes a load of sense for non-union professionals to enter the board of SW though (community professionals etc that aren't employed by MCFD).
