Laurette Robertson and Alison Barnes

Laurette Robertson is the manager of the Woodlands Family Centre in Harlow.

She is a horrible, terrible, no good person who should not be allowed anywhere near vulnerable people or children.

Alison Barnes is a manager in FS&P in Harlow.

She is a horrible, terrible, no good person who should not be allowed anywhere near vulnerable people or children.

Alison also makes poor fashion choices.

This is all purely from memory as i’m not going to go look up anything. If i’m unsure if what i’ve said is totally accurate I will indicate.

There was an ICPC on the 24th September 2018. Gabriel Lowrie had done a hatchet job on us as a family and had accused my husband of sexual abuse, telling me he felt he should move out of the home for 2 weeks. I knew he hadn’t, I knew Gabriel Lowrie was incompetent. I felt this would all be sorted out at the ICPC.

It wasn’t, all of the information was wrong, they hadn’t contacted a paediatric neurologist who had a decades worth of experience with two of my children, and Kiran Box kept on telling me to shut up.

I knew that my children hadn’t been sexually abused, so of course I knew my husband hadn’t abused them. It is recorded in the ICPC notes that I don’t seem to be able to grasp the idea of someone hurting my children, or words to that effect, i’m not going to go look.

The ICPC was about 3 hours and 30 minutes when it could have been over with in 10 if Kiran Box had read the clinic letters I had with me. That also would have prevented the significant trauma my children have suffered, but what does she care.

I have a disability, Essex County Council discriminates against those with a disability. I asked for, but was refused a break, I was in agony. In full view of everyone I took diazepam and morphine liquid as I was in so much pain. Both strong drugs.

After the ICPC I just wanted to go home. I was struggling to get up from my seat due to pain and stiffness.

Laurette Robertson and Alison Barnes blocked my exit and then proceeded to spend the next 30 minutes brainwashing me into believing my husband had abused my children.

It was absolutely relentless, really relentless, they just wouldn’t stop. I’d insist my husband would never harm my children then I got “So it was you then? If it wasn’t him then it must have been you.”. I’d say it wasn’t me, and they would say “So you are telling us it was him then?”

Half an hour is an extremely long time when you are going through that.

They are the type of people who would probably urinate on homeless people just because they enjoy demeaning vulnerable people.

I would like to plead with Alison though, that if you are going to give someone PTSD, then make better fashion choices.

She was wearing some kind of orange tank top thing over a white shirt or blouse. In the ICPC i’d initially mistaken it for a tabard that some people working in factories wear. After have an extreme amount of flashbacks since where I can see her stupid clothing choice, at least let your victim have something nice to look at when they are having flashbacks.

I almost had to leave a vaccination centre because they were wearing those jacket things that look like tabards. I absolutely froze and started panicking.

Now, when my thoughts start to go there I can snap myself back to real by thinking about how stupid she looks.

Laurette is small and witchy, and Alison is bigger and more of an ogre, which is how my mind remembers them.

I’d never met either of them before, I never met Alison again, so I cannot comment if her dress sense is always that dire, or if that was just a one off. I met Laurette once more 11 days later.

They were relentless, they did not stop until they broke me. I would never have thought I could be brainwashed, but they knew what they doing. I was extremely vulnerable, I was on medication, I was in pain, i’d just been subjected to a 3 and a half hour ICPC. They prevented me from leaving and it was just relentless. Every single time I said it’s not true or anything in defence of my husband they became more aggressive. Then something just clicked in my head, I bent over double and had a moment of what I then thought was clarity. When everything they said made sense. They were so pleased with themselves. Laurette then told me to phone Gabe.

They then let me go and I phoned my friend to pick me up, went outside and threw up, and called Gabriel Lowrie and left a message.

Essex County Council has adamantly refused to investigate this. They know it happened, but they have come up with about 5 different excuses, all fabricated and proven to be fabricated, so they made up another one.

When men are accused of anything by the other parent and the children are under Essex children’s social care, if the man states he is is innocent, then it is likely that the mother has been brainwashed in the same way I was.

There will be men in prison based on false allegations by the mother due to brainwashing by Essex children’s social care. If the mother refuses to follow their narrative because it isn’t true, they will brainwash her, they will not relent until they have done this.

If any men are reading this who has had this happen, the mother of their children has been brainwashed by Essex children’s services into making false allegations, then please feel free to contact me. I cannot prove that someone else has been brainwashed, but I can prove that Laurette and Alison brainwashed me in a court situation as I am telling the truth and a judge would recognise that.

That ECC refused to investigate, using many different excuses, all fabricated, which I have extensive written evidence to prove, and then came out with another, last one, which is the easiest of them all to prove it’s fabricated, points to them knowing this happens, and condoning it because it gets them the results they want.

I cannot even begin to describe the trauma myself, my children, and my husband have been through due to Laurette Robertson and Alison Barnes actions. Just speaking for myself it is so incredibly damaging, i’m getting there, but i’ve still got a way to go. I’m really proud of myself for getting to a point where I can now joke about what Alison Barnes was wearing.

This next bit is what I am struggling to remember correctly, so this may not be correct.

I did report Laurette Robertson to SWE, who are the social work regulator. Due to ECC being corrupt and covering up, the investigation done by SWE and the case examiners decision can be discarded.

I’ll go into more detail on another post because it shows significant wrongdoing by ECC, but basically, legally, ECC have to give SWE anything they ask for. They asked for any results of any complaints or investigations done by ECC.. Ecc had refused to investigate my complaint, so they did not tell SWE i’d even made a complaint or give them that complaint. They did however give them a complaint made by one of my children who has no idea what Laurette did. The case examiners had nothing to go on, in their eyes i’d not made a complaint to ECC, which seems weird, this is despite at the time I was fighting tooth and nail to get them to investigate. Given there was no investigation from ECC, the regulator literally had nothing other than case notes, and of course the incident was recorded.

One of the things they noted was that I hadn’t asked for Laurette to be taken off our families case. She wasn’t involved with our family at all. I met her twice, at the ICPC, and then 11 days later at a core group meeting when I had no idea she would be there. I have never met her again, apart from frequently in flashbacks. She wasn’t part of the case so while the case examiners felt that I was absolutely fine with her because I didn’t ask for her to be taken off the case, in reality that wasn’t necessary as she wasn’t involved at all.

They felt it was a case where I didn’t agree with decisions she made about my family, when she made none.

ECC complied legally, but ethically, they made sure to protect their own interests. Ethically they should have told SWE i’d made a complaint but that ECC had refused to investigate it. They could have handed them the complaint i’d made. Beverly Sargeant later told me that she was the one who deals with everything to do with the regulator, so she would have been the one to tell them there was no complaint.

This is the part i’m struggling to remember. Laurette admitted preventing me from leaving, but stated that either she’d wanted to talk to me about something or i’d wanted to talk to her about something, I cannot remember what exactly it was that she said. She stated she didn’t brainwash me, and also that she was alone with me.

The case examiners did say that she shouldn’t have kept me behind and should have spoken to me at another time, not that there was another time, she wasn’t involved with our family other than i’m guessing to do the brainwashing bit. I still have no idea why she, and Alison Barnes were there at all.

This is the why an investigation by ECC would have been vital. Although obviously I know now that it would have been pointless, I was unaware at the time just how corrupt they are.

ECC admitted that they held me behind after the ICPC when I had taken strong medication and had just been through a 3 and a half hour ICPC. Laurette was acting on behalf of ECC, so when she stated to the regulator that she had held me back, she was admitting that on behalf of ECC.

ECC haven’t got a problem with that happening, they have no problems with any of their employees doing it, The logical conclusion is that this happens often and is accepted practice at essex children’s services. Obviously not on the OFSTED report.

Anyone attending a child protection conference, please be aware they will do this. If you don’t go along with what they are saying, they will prevent you from leaving, they will brainwash you into believing whatever they want you to believe. They know you are at your most vulnerable, they know they have power over you and don’t mind abusing that power.

I don’t know how you could get away, I really wish i’d started screaming, but i’m guessing nobody would have come to help me.
