VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Show your support by donating any amount. (Note: We are still technically a for-profit company, so your contribution is not tax-deductible.) PayPal Acct: Feedback:

Subject: Advocacy 'banned'

A client has been told by an Education Department worker that she is not allowed the Advocate of her choice because of a decision by the Director of Social Services who will only 'allow' Advocates 'approved' by her. This decision which has been made in relation to a user led Advocacy service has been made and colluded in by other Statutory agencies and whilst we are challenging it, the Client is not 'allowed' a voice because she does not want the 'voice' they choose to allow her to have.

We have been having problems with the current Director of Social Services and the manner in which she 'achieved' a second star arguably at the expense of services.

Please see our web site with more details.

We feel isolated and oppressed at a time when we should be celebrating 10 successful years in Darlington.

If anyone knows of a similar situation then please let us know and if you wish to support us then either send us an email or the CEO of DBC telling him that you object to what is happening to us after you have read about it on our web site so you clearly know what has gone on.

The CEO email is barry.keel@darlington.gov.uk
