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

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 and instead is favouring a small group of bureaucrats and civil servants. The Council was democratically elected to provide excellent service to the public. However, DAC Beachcroft Legal Services and the Islington Council SPS team’s unproductive stance and lack of transparency further damage their reputation. On June 14th and June 22nd, 2023, an Islington Survivors victim requested intervention from Islington Council Chief Executive, Linzi Roberts-Egan. However, Roberts-Egan is set to leave in July 2023 to become the new Chief Executive at Waltham Forest. On July 12th, 2023, the Chief Executive Office’s Executive Assistant, Janet Peynado, expressed that the complaint would be investigated by a team at the People Directorate. Later that day, the victim of the Islington Survivors, who had applied in February 2023, received a response from Chief Executive Linzi Roberts-Egan. However, the victim pointed out inaccuracies in Roberts-Egan’s opening statement and felt that her apology was insincere. The victim also expressed concerns about the lack of information provided, which could suggest a conflict of interest among Council members and undermine trust in the payout process. The victim criticized Roberts-Egan’s response for failing to address important questions and being consistent with unhelpful responses from the Islington Council SPS team. Despite promises of an investigation by the People Directorate, Islington Council’s Chief Executive, Linzi Roberts-Egan, has been uncooperative and unwilling to accept responsibility for the lack of action taken by the Islington Council SPS team. Chief Executive Linzi Roberts-Egan is attributing delays to DAC Beachcroft Solicitors after efforts to prevent the victim from pursuing the matter through a supposed investigation by the People Directorate were unsuccessful. The victim remains frustrated with the slow and unpredictable process and hopes for more transparency and accountability. Dr Liz Davies, founder of Islington Survivor’s Network (ISN) kindly explained that the delay in payouts for Islington Survivors is due to two lawyers from DAC Beachcroft Solicitors firm, namely Mr John Palmer and Mr David Weir, who have not provided a timeline for completion. The behaviour of DAC Beachcroft Solicitors is concerning, as they do not seem to be taking action to address the current situation. DAC Beachcroft Solicitors’ sluggish approach is causing victims to relive their trauma and reopen old wounds. Research has shown that a person’s sense of morality can decrease as they gain power. It is not surprising that, given their position as legal practitioners, Mr Palmer and Mr Weir show little concern for the Islington Survivors. It is even possible that the partners at the firm find Islington Survivors’ predicament amusing. Several negative online reviews about DAC Beachcroft Solicitors are adding to the criticism they have been receiving. The reviews contain comments such as “This company is an absolute joke,” “The staff turnover rate is so high that your case will be compromised from the beginning,” and “There is no humility, understanding, cohesion, or timely responses from this company.” Some reviewers also suggest that DAC Beachcroft Solicitors uses false data and is a dodgy company that ignores emails and phone calls. Additionally, there are complaints about the company’s accounts department being too busy to process payments despite agreeing to them. Overall, these reviews paint a negative picture of the firm’s service and reliability. To gather information for this article, we tried to get comments from John Palmer, a partner in the Casualty Injury team at DAC Beachcroft in London-Walbrook. With 30 years of civil litigation experience, Mr Palmer could provide valuable insight. Mr David Weir, a legal director who joined DACB as a partner in June 2020, was also informed as was Craig Dickson, the CEO of DAC Beachcroft. There were no comments received. To be continued…

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

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
