Unity Care Services - The Horrors continue for children

You Know Who | 09.08.2008 16:52 | Anti-racism | Iraq | Birmingham | World

The horrors continue for the children in the care of Socail Services placed with Unity Care Services








This Company makes a mockery of its own name and of the Care Industry.
Following on from the previous article regarding Unity Care Services and their lack of proper housing, lack of correct care & support and of profiteering from Government money, the company has been under continued investigation by our team. The author of this article has been able to obtain pictures of one of its property’s and it is shown in the pictures just what sort of poverty conditions that this company makes the children it is supposed to look after live in.
The pictures show a ceiling that has collapsed, it has electrical wiring hanging from this collapse which I believe could be a lethal accident waiting to happen, and this has not been repaired even though it was reported over 6 months ago.
There is debris all down the stairs which again is an accident waiting to happen, damp ceilings with the paper peeling off, I wonder if the people living in this property have any health issues due to this situation ??, The emergency lighting is hanging off and is not working, gas meters and boilers damaged and not working correctly, but no one seems to care.
How long before we have a death in one of this company’s property’s ???????????.
In one of the comments to the previous article which I presume was from an illiterate member of staff or more likely a family member, they state that social services pass all property’s off and completes regular property checks , if this is the case how has this been allowed to happen ?.

One of the main issues to come out of the last article was a lot of people seem to think that social services are using Unity because they are cheap, well this is a myth, Unity are not cheap they charge extortionate prices for keeping these children in these hovels, no one is able to drive Bentleys, Mercedes and Lamborghinis by being cheap, believe me all of you decent people out there, this company is making millions out of these children’s misery.
Having spoken to a number of the children the comments range from one young African child stating he is verbally and racially abused every time he makes any type of requests, to another Afghani child asking why he has to live in a falling down house and is always cold when he was promised Britain would look after him.
This company is breaking every law and housing act that this government put in place to protect people in this type of situation, acts including The Management of Housings in Multiple Occupation
( England ) 2006, Housing In Multiple Occupation Standards, The Licensing Guide for Housing In Multiple Occupation, The Guide to Fire Protection in Multi-Occupied Residential Properties, Gas Safety Regulations 1998, The Electrical Equipment ( Safety ) Regulations 1994, and this list could go on and on.
SOME ONE HAS TO STOPTHESE RUTHLESS ANIMALS BEFORE THEY KILL A CHILD FROM PROFITEERING
