BBC Today - North East Lincolnshire Social Workers severely criticised by Judge

Three North East Lincolnshire Social Workers have been the subject of severe criticism in a judgment by His Honour Judge Jack which has just been published on Baiili.

In June 2014 North East Lincolnshire were seeking a Care Order with a plan for the child to be adopted. The Judge threw out the application, stating he had “Never in over 10 years of hearing care cases, taken the view as I did in this case, that the Local Authority witnesses were visibly biased in their attempts to support the Local Authority’s case”.
