Complaining about Health Visitors in Derby

[CathiBee]

Here is the following information on how to complain about the Health Visitors. This is simple the managers name is Mrs Susan Ernshaw and she has an email and telephone number to contact her.

I will provide details if you message me.

The second approach is to complain to the Nursing and Midwife Council. These women are trained nurses and come under this governing body.

The third approach is to complain to the Ombudsman once the other two have been completed.

You must exhaust all options to get the Ombudsman to deal with your complaint.

I cannot say anything about my own situation as I am currently dealing with them through the Nursing and Midwife council (NMC) and the Health Ombudsman.

What I can disclose is that the Family Health Visitors in Derby are governed by Derby City Council as this was told to me by the Health Ombudsman so because of this you have to complain about the Derby City Council partnership to the local ombudsman.

I believe that this is a partnership of some kind and as such Children's Services can work more closely with the local authority and with your local GP.
This is why if you refuse to let these Health Visitors in your home you get a social worker knocking on your door.

This is not a compulsory service and you can go through the proper way and get it stopped providing there are no concerns.

You absolutely do not get social workers knocking on your door if you refuse health visitors in Derby. I refused from my first child being 2, including refusing them for my 2nd and 3rd child. No social worker ever knocked on my door.

This would depend on what they are actually trying to stir up about the parents or child or children. These women are allowed a professional opinion and this gets written on your medical records but you have to ask your GP practice for full access to your medical records. They cannot refuse you this access under the Data Protection Act. I have spoken to the ICO over this matter so I am informing you all of the correct information. You even request the Health Visitors notes and even your Hospital records.

This is all I am going to say on the subject.
