OFSTED COMPLAINT - I don't believe, they've set me up!!!!!

bloodsuckingLOONEY · 01/11/2007 09:43

I can't believe it, I'm DEVASTED and I want to take action!!! I received a complaint from OFSTED today about photo's of mindees being on my Facebook page and a link to my website etc!! They said they want to know if I have parental permission and OF COURSE I bloody do!!! The only mindees on there are the ones who's parents are on Facebook and it's an easy way of seeing photo's, video clips etc!!! I KNOW it's an internal set up - remember the OFSTED group I found that said those horrible things and then they saw what we were up to and removed the group - that will be it!!!

How do I complain about this? I now have a strike against my name and I'm furious!!!

SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, just had to vent as I'm shaking with anger!!!

Shall I quickly let the BBC know about this too so they can mention it!!! (joke)

Thanks, I don't know about the acts but I do know that the FOI act states they have to comply within 20 days.

Just off to school to get my son but will check more later when mindee has her next nap.

Thanks

And sorry to anyone who thinks I'm moaning away.....just having a terrible week

Looney have replied on MSN love. BUT FOR YOU OWN SAKE you have to calm down, you will end up ill, I know that is easier said than done, life is dealing you a tough time at the moment, but deep breaths, love, and remember we are here.

Just quicky......it's not just parental permission they were checking on - they were saying it's inappropriate to have minded children on the same webpage as something with adult material (i.e. funwall images) and therefore I'm just going to remove the albums as it's the easiest thing to do. Parents will be a bit gutted but not a lot I can do.

Ya see, this is the whole thing, isn't it? It was perfectly fine with the parents and with you and now Ofsted are involved and guess what? You're not allowed. Since when did they have any right over what a parent finds acceptable for their children? Its got naff all to do with them! Hey ho!

I've jsut caught this thread, DH has had the bloody cheek to be on the pooter all day!

looney, you need to calm down. I know you are angry, adn I don't blame you, and it does sound as though they are trying to cause you problems, but please think of your health. Will email you later, DH going out!

bloodsuckingLOONEY · 01/11/2007 18:22

CountessDracula - I only did it coz parents wanted to be able to grab vids & pics.

Saltire - you're right, I'm not stressing so much about that now - enough other stuff going on.

Oh, sorry to hear about all your troubles, Looney. Hope you get everything sorted out soon. Off to read your other thread now.

CountessDracula · 01/11/2007 18:31

one

three

I could go on for hours

I know that facebook is not the issue but it does facilitate this sort of behaviour

bloodsuckingLOONEY · 01/11/2007 18:55

Ok, I see you point but tbh, it's not really what I was getting at with OFSTED. If they hadn't done this I'm sure they'd have FOUND something else to get me on or maybe just refused my next variation request
