ChildrenAtHeart I fully understand your point of view and have also suffered from a malicious complaint but the petition does not state what it is for it just is a statement. Blurry this is the link epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/14593
It does not state clearly the arguement and using your exact words could be made much clearer:
"We the undersigned ask for a change to be made to the law whereby currently if a complaint is made the childminder can be suspended by Ofsted for 6 weeks initially. The childminder is not told who made the complaint or even the content of the complaint. There is no 'innocent until proven guilty' and even if the allegation is eventually found to be false the damage is done as after 6 weeks most families will have had to find alternative childcare and the seeds of doubt have been sown. The CM has no recourse to recover any kind of financial damages for loss of income or business or any compensation for the trauma experienced as they are not told who made the false complaint. We ask that instead If a Oftsed is contacted regarding a complaint the childminder must be told within 24 hours what the allegation is. If suspended pending an investigation, they MUST be visited by Ofsted within 24 hours of the suspension. Suspensions should not be made on Friday because a guilty childminder can spend the weekend amending or falsifying documents, and an innocent childminder would spend the weekend worrying and unable to do anything as all organisations who might provide information or advice are closed. When an allegation is judged to be unfounded and malicious Ofsted must give the name of the accuser to the accused to enable them to use the existing legal system to sue for defamation of character and loss of earnings in the civil courts if they wish to. Making a malicious allegation should become a criminal offence, and as such, should carry an appropriate fine and sentence. Genuine complaints need to be made but repetitive, malicious complaints against childminders must be stopped.
