How to prove I am of sound mind

[TwittleBee]

I'm unsure if that's actually the correct term but I am being accused by the Council that I am psychotic and experiencing delusions because I'm challenging their "professional" opinion by raising complaints that they haven't followed the legislation correctly (I did also point out to them that of course I'll challenge those professionals when they lose 99% of their Appeals) and am concerned that this could then lead to me being exposed to losing access to my children (Council have already alluded to such).

I've done a quick Google search but am unsure what I actually need! I always imagined it would be some sort of questionnaire or interview with a Dr or something!

This.
Do you have it in writting?
If so I'd be tempted to email back something along the line: thank you for your concern, may I have full detaild, including professional qualification of a person who made this diagnosis without seeing me.

Yes it's in the Social Care Report and in 2 x "professional meetings" that I wasn't invited to attend but they sent me the minutes to afterwards. Is odd too as I've only met 2 /12 of those professionals (over 5 months ago) and some are chief execs. Thr meeting minutes are infuriating to read as they're full of false accounts, of which I have very clear evidence to dispute.

What happened about the EP assessment?

Currently waiting for a private EP now @hellohellooo

Did they make their claims that you are psychotic in the social care assessment or was it verbal?

Sorry if you've already covered this in your replies.

They are absolutely not qualified to make such a statement about you!

So. You're "delusional". What help are they offering you with this? Nothing. Has your GP been informed? No, thought not.

Where is their duty of care towards you?

Ignore me, just seen you answered this a couple of posts ago.

Why was the EP assessment not competed correctly I don't quite understand!!!

@TwittleBee as you said even if you were psychotic then it doesn't mean you can't ever complain. They shouldn't be discriminating based on mental health issues or diagnosis no

How are they qualified to give you this diagnosis? I'm curious as l am a mental health professional and work on a psychosis team
Instinct tells me they are not qualified and they are just doing it to unsettle you and try to put you on the back foot. Like an old manager of mine used to say: just because you're paranoid doesn't meant they are not out to get you!

@LondonFox exactly, you can't diagnose someone you have never met 🤷‍♀️

@Nextdoor55 Yep! I've personally witnessed another part of our LA (child SS) lie.

Without going into too much unnecessary detail, my friend's DH found he'd 2 dc who'd been kept from him until they were toddlers.
For reasons I won’t go into, to do with his DC's DM, he had to meet & get to know them in the company of a social worker instead of their DM.
Anyway, meet ups progressed to public spaces and one day, I was at soft play with my DC and in walks friend, her DH, his DC & social worker. I had no idea they were coming, for context. I obviously kept well out of it but friend occasionally came over to chat. During one of these chats, as we're glancing over at her DH playing with DC, one of them drops their drink and starts crying. He handled it just as you'd expect any parent to. Picked child up, reassured him, went with both DC to get a new drink etc.

Two weeks later, he gets a letter saying that meet ups were suspended indefinitely after the social worker witnessed him (friend's DH) "angrily snatch water out of child's hand and throw it onto the floor, causing fear & distress to child"
I witnessed what happened. I was about 12ft away the entire time they were there. The social worker categorically did not witness anything of the kind....
23 months it was until he saw his kids again.

I might go for not only a complaint to the Authority but to the relevant regulator for the professionals

Yes the solicitor did this, got them to hand it all over, I'm sure there's a way of getting them to do this. I'm really sorry you're going through this, it's rough

My understanding is that mental capacity is always assumed unless proven otherwise during the mental capacity act assessment. So it's very much up to them to prove you do not have capacity during a mental capacity act assessment process not up to you to defend yourself
