Re: NACSA leadership time for a change

Whilst I would not wish to intrude in a domestic dispute i would say
this...

It strikes me that there are too many, mostly disperate groups, dealing
with the fall out from the CSA in one way or another.

That is probably why the shambles at the CSA is little if any better
now than it was at its inception. I don't want anyone to post figure
to blinding me with the Government Approved Statistics. Those at the
sharp end know exacly how bad they are. Just one case screwed up is
one child and two 'wider' families screwed up - that is one too many

The Governments response has been effectlivey to tart up the bodywork
and leave the knacked engine in tact, in the hope that no one will
notice. Oh they did provide a useless compouter as a suitable
scapegoat. Now the CSA has too many loose cannons trying to nail any
'stocking filler' fathers so they can to chalk up their Xmas bonus .
It is, to mix my metaphors, little more than a Crapps shoot.

If there is going to be any serious challenge to the CSA - and whilst I
will probably uset one or two here, it does strike me that a few highly
publicised cases in the media have had the biggest return. F4J have
shown how to get a massive return from a few ingenious stunts. It is
difficult to argue that there activity has not recieved wider public
support, raised the unjustness of the current system and are speeding
up change. Jamie oliver has done much the same with school meals.

Knoweldge is power and too much is kept within the individual groups.
Thats 1:0 to the CSA already - Divide and Conquor.

There needs to be one 'professional' organisations with independance
from the CSA. It needs to be government funded, funded as a
'Childrens' charity or both. That will rightly keep the CSA on it toes
and make all information available to everyone. The CSA appears to be
behaving like a Secret Service, this has to be challenged.

This is not new. 'The Royal College of Nursing' is one example.

It repesernt a massive cultural shift. But the parochial culture of
the past is no good for the future.

....and please Martin, please save my contibution from your usual
disection. I am fed up in general of the Can't Do mentality where the
CSA is concerned. Quite frankly 'Nothing' would be better that what we
have got - simply give the money saved on scrapping the CSA to parents
- the saving in family distress, illness, the extra tax revenue of
people motivated to work would easily make up the govenements financial
balance ***.

There is considerable energy and desire for change but it is spread too
thinly is too many groups.

Can anyone have a word with Jamie Oliver perhaps.
