@flow_insurance I emailed you on the 30.09.23 regarding me moving house and questioning why I had to pay additional money when my car is now more secure behind a gated property in a village with a low crime rate. I have not heard back and need to change my address please

@louisetickle @EdThomasNews There are also failures where children have returned to the ‘family home’ when women haven’t left and DV is still going on. It is an incredibly hard issue to manage.

@JDjanogly I am a constituent.sent passport to @HM_Passport on 18th April as supporting document.still not returned to me. Holiday in 2 weeks but passport office not letting me get a new one as they won’t declare as lost. Please can you help?

[Special Guardianship Advocate ( SGO ). @AdvocateSgo]

@deandunham please help- Desperate @HM_Passport. Waited 4 wks for passport (supporting doc) to be returned. Passport office can’t tell me where it is! Endless pointless calls with no help - they won’t declare as lost so I can not get emergency appt! Family Holiday in 2 weeks!

[Special Guardianship Advocate ( SGO ). @AdvocateSgo]

@ukhomeoffice been waiting 4 weeks for my passport ( supporting document ) to be returned. Go on holiday in 2 weeks yet you won’t declare as lost! I need an emergency appointment but you keep fobbing me off telling me to wait @LBC

@Channel4News @FamilyRightsGp @JaneDJourno Family carers (I am one) get taken advantage of from the moment we step forward for the child.The children’s&carers voices,rights&needs are silenced&ignored because they know, no matter what we are offered or not offered,we won’t refuse because of our endless love for that child

[Special Guardianship Advocate ( SGO ). @AdvocateSgo]

@HM_Passport 4 weeks waiting for you to return my supporting document (passport). You can’t tell me where it is or track it &I don’t have it. So I’m now saying it’s lost.But you won’t let me get a new one because you won’t confirm it’s lost even though you DON’T KNOW WHERE IT IS!

[Special Guardianship Advocate ( SGO ). @AdvocateSgo]

@HM_Passport - received my daughters passport 3 weeks ago. STILL waiting for my supporting documents (my passport) Have a holiday booked for 2 weeks time. Called and no tracking even though I paid for it! You have no idea where it is or when it might arrive. HELP

[Special Guardianship Advocate ( SGO ). @AdvocateSgo]

@Bayliss6B @bbcmtd Or his parents

[Special Guardianship Advocate ( SGO ). @AdvocateSgo]

@joshharsant I agree! Annabelle&her situation reminded me so much of our niece who is in our care (mum being pregnant&the fears for the unborn baby) our Lo has said the same! I’m so glad she has broken the care cycle though - she would be an inspiration to many. A difficult but needed watch

[Special Guardianship Advocate ( SGO ). @AdvocateSgo]

@Paddywivell @Channel4 @MattJClayton @Child_Cov @coventryDCS As a foster and now SGO mum - this was a thought provoking watch. Paddy - I wish you all the best and that the relationship with your mum continues to be strong. She fought hard for you.

@LeeSharon71lee @passportwaiting How long did it take you? Need newborn passport asap. They now also have mine as supporting document. Applied on 13th April. Docs received 19th
I’m panicking!! Any Advice?

[Special Guardianship Advocate ( SGO ). @AdvocateSgo]

@LarsenDisney Did they update the portal throughout? Waiting for 8 week old daughters new passport. Applied 2.5 weeks ago. Need it in 3 weeks time.

[Special Guardianship Advocate ( SGO ). @AdvocateSgo]

@passportwaiting Applied for child’s first passport today - let’s see how it goes!

[Special Guardianship Advocate ( SGO ). @AdvocateSgo]

@LDNLutonAirport we have fast passes to get through security. What’s the queues looking like? We fly tomorrow. Don’t want to arrive hours early if we don’t need to. Walked straight through last time but latest advice is atleast 3 hours

[Special Guardianship Advocate ( SGO ). @AdvocateSgo]

@ToryBrexitForMe @Offersme3 @KEdge23 ‘Bog off’

[Special Guardianship Advocate ( SGO ). @AdvocateSgo]

@GriffLlaregyb @KEdge23 Nope. I do it on the side FOR FREE - cos I’m that type of person that you love to hate. I also take size 6 shoe and have just had my hair done. Anything else you would like to know?!
