Islington Survivors Failed by Islington Council SPS and DAC Beachcroft Solicitors Part 4

Image
An Islington Survivors victim has called on Jeremy Corbyn to explore the possibility of legal action against DAC Beachcroft Legal Services for violating human rights. Despite public criticism, DAC Beachcroft Legal Services seem unperturbed. The public speculates that DAC Beachcroft Legal Services believe they are above the law and immune to negative public opinion due to their position in the legal field. On Monday, July 24th, 2023, the same Islington Survivors victim, who had originally submitted her application in February of that same year, reported that DAC Beachcroft Legal Services, after a six-month wait, had finally accepted her application. Despite this positive outcome, the victim alleges that hers is an isolated incident. The victim observed that Local officials and projects must be scrutinized in-depth and held accountable. Democracy means giving power to the people, and local government must be reformed to reflect this principle. This, however, seems unlikely due to the co...

Islington Survivors Failed by Islington Council SPS and DAC Beachcroft Solicitors Part 3

Image
It cannot be denied that DAC Beachcroft Solicitors are responsible for the delay in payouts. However, it is unfair for the Islington Council Support Payment Scheme team (SPS) to shirk responsibility for the pace of DAC Beachcroft Solicitors’ work, as Islington Council presumably hired and is paying them. The Islington Council SPS team should demand regular updates to be given to the Islington Survivors’ victims. The Islington Council SPS team’s inability to address the lackadaisical approach of DAC Beachcroft Solicitors demonstrates either incompetence or a callous disregard for the Islington Survivors who are consistently being harmed and denigrated. Victims of Islington Survivors predict that the Islington Council SPS team may use a lack of resources to avoid holding DAC Beachcroft Solicitors accountable for providing better service. On July 14th, 2023, an email was sent to Jeremy Corbyn MP and the Leader of the Islington Council, Councillor Kaya Comer-Schwartz, by an Islington Surv...

Islington Survivors Failed by Islington Council SPS and DAC Beachcroft Solicitors Part 2

Image
Islington Survivors Victims are facing significant risks to their mental health and financial stability. It appears that the Islington Council Support Payment Scheme team (SPS) and DAC Beachcroft Legal Services may have put the well-being of Islington Survivors at risk by intentionally withholding information from them. Despite seeking assistance from the Islington Council Support Payment Scheme team (SPS) and DAC Beachcroft Legal Services, the victims have not received helpful responses. The victims of Islington Survivors, the Islington Survivors Campaign for Justice and Healing, and the Advocacy Group are unhappy and expressed dissatisfaction with the current situation. Many believe that the Islington Council Support Payment Scheme team (SPS) and DAC Beachcroft Legal Services do not care about the impact of their active inertia on the psychological well-being of Islington Survivors’ victims in any way. Islington Council SPS team does not seem to prioritise the needs of individuals a...

Islington Survivors Failed by Islington Council SPS and DAC Beachcroft Solicitors Part 1

There are rising concerns about the Islington Survivors Support Payment Scheme due to the Islington Council Support Payment Scheme team (SPS) and DAC Beachcroft Legal Services' lack of transparency. Although the scheme's goal of acknowledging past victims of alleged abuse in the Islington childcare system is praiseworthy, there are significant concerns about the scheme's trustworthiness. The Non-recent Abuse and Trauma Service team, led by Dr Liz Davies, founder of Islington Survivor’s Network (ISN), and Coordinator of the Islington Survivors Campaign for Justice and Healing and Advocacy Group, are aiding survivors of Islington's child abuse scandal. Dr Liz Davies, founder of Islington Survivor’s Network (ISN), maintains a neutral position as a council employee. According to Dr Liz Davies, 155 out of 200 applications for the Islington Survivors Support Payment Scheme's £10,000 payout have been approved and disbursed. The scheme is not a compensation or red...

Private Compensation Claim Part 2 a Humiliating Process

Image
The process of making a private compensation claim should aim to reduce the impact of past traumas on the victims, prevent future harm, and seek justice. It appears that instead of helping, the situation is making things worse and putting the mental health of Islington Survivors at risk. These victims, who are already struggling with depression and other issues, are being forced to go through a trial-like experience once again, causing further damage. Regardless of their tactfulness, the Civil Litigation Solicitors Law Firm's approach is extremely traumatic and ultimately pointless. Civil litigation solicitors often fail to inform victims about the statute of limitations, leading them to have false hope and unrealistic expectations. The alleged victims experience and revisit trauma all over again, as they are faced with the prospect of their claim being rejected. This is in addition to the state of limbo a victim finds themselves in as they wait to hear about the outcome ...

Private Compensation Claim a Humiliating Process Part 1

Image
There is growing criticism directed towards Civil Litigation Solicitors for not disclosing certain obstacles with potential clients that may prevent Islington Survivors from pursuing private compensation claims. Leigh Day Solicitors, who provide pro-bono legal services to Dr Liz Davies, the founder of Islington Survivor's Network (ISN) and coordinator of the Islington Survivors Campaign for Justice and Healing and Advocacy Group, have been accused of malpractice in their civil litigation services. Filing a private compensation claim through Civil Litigation can be a challenging and discouraging process. Unless there is a signed confession from the offender or photographic evidence of the assault, it is unlikely to motivate the Civil Litigation Solicitors and their financiers in the Council. These obstacles, particularly the statute of time limitations, can be traumatic for survivors. This is why survivors fought for the Support Payment Scheme, which is a faster and easie...

My Father Olabisi Ajala

Aurora Mizutani , formerly Dupelola Osaretin Ajala, is the daughter of the well-known journalist Olabisi Ajala . Dupelola, a talented writer with an impressive educational background holds a degree in English Literature and Creative Writing from London Metropolitan University and is an alumna of Kansai Gaidai University in Osaka Japan. In 2016, Dupelola tied the knot with a Japanese citizen and is currently referred to as Aurora Mizutani. Aurora Mizutani’s memoir "An African Abroad," tells the story of a direct descendant of the renowned journalist Moshood Adisa Olabisi Ajala. Aurora Mizutani's autobiography is not a sequel to her father's biography. Aurora focuses on her own life and only mentions her father briefly. She believes her contrasting upbringing has taught her valuable lessons, which she wanted to document. Perhaps her goal was to set the record straight. Aurora’s memoirs are a tribute to her father's accomplishments and reflect her li...
