Nice to see the Government and the opposition coming out in support of UKIP.
I Know it's a Labour run council so I wonder what the party can do? Another inquest, enquiry etc, because the UK doesn't have enough of those.

I doubt the Labour party will do anything itself, but the Ed. Sec is leading an investigation, as is the Council, who's leader has said he "expects the report to be on his desk Monday morning". Someone is having a bad weekend, that's for sure....

It's not actually true, so don't waste your time.
If the case is between two individuals (say the parents after a divorce), the hearing is held in private, not secret.
If the local authority gets involved, said case is a Public Law case and as such is not even held in private. In both instances, accredited members of the Media are allowed to attend, although there may be restrictions on what they can report (names for instance)
While it is clear the poster has been though a rough ride for some reason, I am willing to put money on the fact he/she has left out some pertinent points related to his/her case as to why Social were taking such an active interest in his/her family.
Unassisted home births happen regularly, although the Midwives often advise against it because it is dangerous.
The poster is right women have been doing it since the dawn of time, however, childbirth was for a long time considered very dangerous and often fatal until medical science got involved.
All my kids and the mother would be dead if it wasn't for medical science being there at birth.
Again, kids are home schooled all the time in the UK but the local authority has a legal obligation to check that the standard of education is up to scratch.
Given the tone and the clear anti-Government bias displayed by said poster, I am certain there is something not being told to us or he is exaggerating what happened for dramatic effect.
His plan, originally announced last year, was to shed light on the system to tackle suspicions of bias, injustice and cronyism in the family courts.
But judges made sure that reporters would not be allowed to tell the public anything they saw or heard while the court was in session.

Clearly you have no idea what you are talking about and I would hazard a guess that YOU work as a social worker or you know someone close to you that does... Please watch this and tell me it is not true again...

Who gets to attend is irrelevant if the parents or children are not heard!

You people make me sick! That's right. I am the liar... You have no clue! The midwives told the police that they didn't even know my partner was pregnant! She had been to scans and midwife appointments up until the point where she was physically hurt by one... Regardless that is irrelevant anyway as there is no law demanding you seek any kind of medical treatment! It is called consent... Would you like me to link you to the NMC website!
Everything is just as I described... Though I did leave out the fact that the police lied to us too... During our complaint with the police I wrote a statement on behalf of my partner, we were told that can't be done! My partner said she would sign it but they still refused saying she needed to write it herself!

We even had social services telling us that our son had missed his 6 weeks and 8 weeks appointments, that is why they were involved (the SS told us this at the door when we asked why they were here)... He was 3 weeks old at the time!!!

Care to show me some statistics for your claim here? Dangerous? Really? You have no clue! It is natural and very safe! If as you say if happens regularly would you care to give me the death rate? You know as it is so dangerous?

You are a joke! Are you saying then that no-one dies in the hospital due to child birth? If child birth is so dangerous how is it that african families can have like 10 kids, same with indian families, a lot of them life in very poor conditions too... Do complications happen during birth? Sure but it is RARE...

You have no proof of this and it is irrelevant to us and our case!

Yes and WE have NO legal obligation to COMPLY... I was told this by the LEO himself, I pressed him about what would happen if I didn't though and basically he threatened me with the courts! That is all they have, threats and intimidation! How dare these people question the education of our children when the school system is such a joke! Would you like me to bring up some stats regarding schools?
