The Post Adoption Counselling Ofsted Dance of Misdirection

-

 

A Statutory Instrument 2005 underlining the 2013 Adoption Statutory Guidance fore-worded by Ed Timpson MP., places NO legal prohibitions on adults Adoptees seeking for instance private therapy for trauma inside Adoption. NONE at all . "Counselling" (not  therapy) as core duties, are only mentioned in prescribed forms. Read the Statutes! ..


One mention of therapeutic services for Adoptive children in another 2005 government document is the only time  the Statutes veer from using counselling as a term and that is because some very disturbed children who are adopted, need specialized services . 

Ofsted have created an interpretative problem in their online Guidance about post adoption counselling and that is because counselling in its core duties is indeed statutorily prescribed as a number of tasks and needs to be "inspected" once counsellors and other Adoption support staff set up as "Agencies"

Therapy though  is never mentioned in Statute (not once - please word search it ) nor are any prohibitions placed on adult Adoptees who wish to go private or outside of Ofsted's grasp. . Prohibition  regarding therapy is neither implied nor specified by Statute for adult Adoptees.

PAC-UK and BACP should have legally challenged this but did not . Why ? The easy answer is they stand to gain from a closed shop situation which tries to overrule choices which adult Adoptees can make, and do make, in a free market.

An Adoptee helping other Adoptees tried to get clarity over a year ago from Ofsted and reports in her blog about the matters on How to be Adopted.com

Adoptees in the UK do not like the way they have behaved but these bodies do know the issues, and appear to have left some Adoptees to marinate in them .. The matter needs challenging as "ultra vires" against Ofsted for misadvice, and pain caused,  via the Parliamentary Ombudsman's route . Some of us will do it. Those who should protect our interests are not openly doing it .. 

All this amidst of course the July 7th chaos now ,  of so called "Government" .  Boris Johnson has resigned so has the Children And Families Minister Will Quince MP (over Ofsted partly)

  From 18th May 2021 up until the date of writing this report on the 16th July 2021,  two of us as UK adult adoptees designed and ran a survey for UK Adult Adoptees. By July it had accrued 95 adult adoptee respondents from areas of Facebook groups. Only UK Adult Adoptees "adopted in the UK" were permitted to do the survey  What we wanted to test was whether or not UK Adult Adoptees wanted to revoke their adoptions if that was legally eased in the UK. 51 % said they wanted revocation. We tested other matters too like experience for adult adoptees of needing therapy and whether they had been child abused inside adoption...We did this because some UK adoptees had told us they were pained by adoption though there were others who had "good" Adoptions...     The figures below are shocking for us to see and speak for themselves . 42 % of the respondents stated they were child abused inside Adoption experience. These shock figures have never before been generated or even se

Adoption: A Neurosis By Design?

  Extract From Support Not Separation Website Against Forced Adoptions Oct 5th 2022 The UK is now a growing anti-family-anti-stability nation it seems? Out of 3500 Adoptions 90% were estimated to be “Forced Adoptions” (non consensual ones) . However let’s look at how these UK State approved ways create a socially approved : “Neurosis by design” This is not a party political matter since both big UK Parties are involved. They have been, since 2000, with Tony Blair’s Labour Prime Ministers plan to create bonuses for local authorities to increase Adoptions .. After all, his dad was Adopted, and successful in life , so it must be the case Adoption rescues everyone else , surely ? Selves split off from family selves, whether that means from each other or from oneself “internally” (A self split-off from itself too) will set up many unmet needs and identity problems in most Adoptees and birth family. However it seems, some Adoptees become politicians like Tory UK Michael Gove M.P. w

Adoptee Anon 2022 Global Survey Stops At 320 - Curator Report

-

The survey is now closed at 320 because the trends are not altering and the growing numbers do not make it’s voices somehow louder. Those trends have remained constant. Three are shown below and they are serious matters that the over-promotional world of “ Adoption is so wonderful” needs to see and hear too. Notably that hearing, must be done in cultures that dream-on that Adoption is a good alternative form of child care. The survey is not showing that by ratio of pain to gain .. It’s showing abuses and damages. It’s showing kids (now adults) were at high risk of damages INSIDE Adoption. It’s showing Adoption looks like a form: “Socialised Neuroses by Design” too. It emerges more in Adult life. It’s no wonder the survey was picking up sizeable trends towards “self destruction” in some Adoptees too .. More of that will be seen in future report-backs by free PDF’s given , after the comment boxes are assigned numbers of comments, and screened for accidental identifiers whi
