JUSTICE FOR CARERS AND SKILLED WORKERS.

I think the government should review the powers of The Disclosure and Barring Service to ensure they are exercised reasonably and fairly. It is also important to ensure that there are no racist elements within the organization.

This is because many carers are indiscriminately being barred from working with adults and children. A lot of the workers are foreign skilled workers whose lives are being ruined by unfounded allegations made by patients.

Whilst it has been found that some carers abused their patients, a lot of carers are also subjects of abuse and false allegations by their patients, and their employers offered them no protection, but are quick to report them to the police and the Disclosure and Barring Service.

Employers are quick to hold disciplinary proceedings and dismiss the carer. Even when the police decide not to prosecute or charge them, the DBS bars them from working with vulnerable adults and children. That can’t be fair.

Where is the justice and protection for the carers? Who is fighting for them? One sick patient can make an allegation and ruin someone’s life, destroy their dreams, prevent them from getting another Certificate of Sponsorship, prevent them from getting another job, and face removal from the United Kingdom for an offence they did not commit.

I have been involved in many cases like this where the allegations were ridiculous, the disciplinary hearings were kangaroo in nature, and the DBS wielded the big sticks with a standard letter used to bar innocent people.

Some of these indiscriminately barred victims are reading this, and a lot needs to be done to protect them.

DEALING WITH IMMIGRATION CHALLENGES.

I have lived in the UK for 35 years, going on 36 years. I have been involved with the immigration process from two months since my entry. Why? I had to deal with my immigration problems.

People have always had immigration challenges, but many have not handled them well. By the time they got their leave to remain, some could not:

See again - they lost their sight.
Work again - they were disabled
Get married - health already gone.
Have children - Far too old.
They are no longer healthy and
Cannot even travel out.

They have the right to stay here, but it has little or no benefits. Do not let the immigration challenges ruin your health, your marriage, or your life. It will soon become history, but make sure you carry yourself to enjoy life still.

I have seen a lot, and I am just sharing a little. Manage your situation well, and you will be fine in the end.

Getting legal advice in all areas of law and being ready to pay for it is essential. Lawyers are paid for their time. The benefits of getting legal advice not only work today but can help you avoid future traps. If you are not willing to pay for legal advice, you are being penny wise and pounds foolish.

Hello Immigrants with immigration challenges, stop calling the Home Office for advice on your immigration issues.

They are not there to advise you on your immigration status. Go to the citizen advice bureau or see a lawyer.

Some of you messed up your chances by saying you spoke to nameless Home Office officials on the phone.

Finally, some of the people taking calls on behalf of UK Visas and Immigration do not know much about the immigration rules and policies.

Get your advice from proper sources.

Ire o!

HOW TO KEEP YOUR CHILDREN AWAY FROM GANGS, DRUGS & THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM IN THE UK

I have lived in the UK for over 33 years and I have always been interested in the children from ethnic minorities who are often disadvantaged.

Being in the legal profession and at the same time being a pastor has made me see the damages to many children’s lives through no fault of theirs. It has to do with parental failings and the lack of awareness of what they can do to help these young children. So, let me give a few points here:

1. Teach and train your children very well especially when you start seeing them showing unruly behavior.
2. Give them strong spiritual guidance and make sure you go to church with them regularly if you are a Christian like me. It is very important even if you don’t like going to church.
3. Be very particular about where you live. Children are easily corrupted by their environment. If you live in an area corrupted by gangs, drug dealers, and other low-life people, you are putting the children at risk.
4. Avoid social housing if you can and become a homeowner no matter how small your house may be. Children raised in a house are less vulnerable.
5. Avoid bad habits as a parent and stop fighting as a couple. You are messing up the children’s lives without knowing.
6. Be a working parent so that you can provide for your children rather than living on benefits. If they have, they will not go and steal. They will not usually be influenced by others.
7. As a young couple, don’t make it all about your career or who can make the most money whilst the children are neglected. Our children are our future. If you make the most money, have the houses and the big positions in society and the children don’t do well, that is not an achievement.
8. Make sure when your children get home from school, they meet one of you at home.
9. Keep them away from the police and the criminal justice system. Don’t call the police on each other. Police officers make a career of destroying young black children’s lives. Once they set an eye on a young man or woman, that is usually the end of that life.
10. If you can afford it, put your children in a private or Christian school and monitor them properly.
11. Give your children pocket money and teach them about contentment.
12. Take your children to your home country. Some children from the ethnic minority think the United Kingdom is the whole world. They are patently limited in knowledge and exposure.
13. Think twice before you destroy your marriage especially if you have a responsible spouse.

I love you all. You can see that I have not talked of the children’s responsibility but I have concentrated on parental responsibility. You have a lot to do. Some day, I will talk about the teenage children’s responsibilities.

Your lawyer or your agent must give you a copy of your application form before it is submitted or after it is submitted. If they are not willing to give it to you, there is something dodgy there. A lot of people are being banned through the activties of their lawyers and agents. You have a right to your copy and do not be afraid to ask

Whoever knows this woman should tell her to go before God and ask for forgiveness. I advertised my ABUJA Japa or No Japa event and she visited my page and started cursing me. May the Lord forgive her for she does not know what she is doing. Draw this to her attention📌📌📌
