Great questions

I read New Zealand's Gift to the World when I was going through FGC conferences.
It's very informative, on the process of the Fgc's. And what we as Mother/caregivers could expect.
My recommendations were not followed through.
My complaint went to the Chief Advisory Panel and Cyfs were given a chance to right the wrongs .
Did they .....?ummm
No they didn't , so it's to the ombudsman we go with the complaint.
Meanwhile still battling with the issue that the Fgc was held around. We're 4 years on from that Fgc that was a failure and the issue has grown into a even larger problem.
I could think of better ways to spend my time, than scrolling e mails compiling my complaint , but why should they get away with this behavior.
The kids suffer the whole family suffers ...
I don't think New Zealanders really know how the Full picture, and what some of these SW actually get up too with our kids. Good Luck you will need It
