NOTE ON THE CONSENSUS PROCESS
Documentation:
This document is the third part of a three-piece suite of papers lodged by Consensus with the Permanent Secretary (DfES), five Ministers (DfES and DCA) and the relevant line managers cataloguing the mismanagement of family policy in two sectors:
- private law Family Law cases - public law Family Law cases
In both sectors, the mismanagement shows common features; - in particular, of internal departmental processes contrived by Government officials (or a Government official) in such a manner that policy-as-envisaged by Ministers was replaced by wholly different policies; with one policy substituted for another whilst it was officially maintained that the original policy continued under development.
Documentation lodged to date consists of:
1. 26 April 2005 – the originating document summarising the case in both the private and public sectors:
(i) Private Law: Section 8 contact disputes / Early Interventions /Child Contact and Adoption Bill
(ii) Public Law: MSbP / Shaken Babies / Social Service interventions / Child Protection / adoptions
2. 20 May 2005 – lodgement of full particulars re the Private Law mismanagement of EI and Section 8
3. 19 July 2005 – lodgement of full particulars re the Public Law mismanagement of MSbP etc (herewith) _______________
Procedure
On 28 April 2005 the DfES Permanent Secretary Sir David Normington responded on behalf of the initial recipients (see Paragraph One above) with the undertaking of a full departmental investigation. A prerequisite, agreed thereafter by Consensus in correspondence with Sir David Normington was the submission by Consensus of full particulars in relation to (i) Private Law (ii) Public Law. Item (i) was lodged on 20 May 2005; Item (ii), on 19 July 2005.
As of 19 July 2005, the DfES was in a position to commence its investigations.
The covering letter from Consensus to Sir David, which accompanied the 19 July 2005 papers, noted that the objective of Consensus was structural change. A timetable of two months from receipt of the MSbP papers was suggested by Consensus as an appropriate span for the Department to respond with the indications of good faith sought by Consensus.
A copy of this letter from Consensus, if not appended to this document, may be available on application from the Permanent Secretary.
Private Law: Confirmation of Mismanagement by Mr Bruce Clark
On 17 May 2005 the DfES, in response to various requests, furnished Consensus with the Minutes of the first DfES Design Team meeting (of 17 March 2004) on the Private Law Section 8 EI reform project. These Minutes confirm, on the Department’s own records, the charge against Mr Clark:
- by the time the Design Team first met, the approved EI project had been buried and was lost without trace
During the period October ‘03-March ‘04, when the EI project underwent its unauthorised disposal, the EI project was under Mr Clark’s control. The Private Law issue is concluded in the Appendices at Endnote ix
