I just kept thinking how alone she seemed. Really felt for her.

I thought I would give the programme another go so started watching it on 4 plus 1, so strange seeing so many places in Notts on the telly, loads of places I have walked along.
Not sure what's going on with your posts here poolshark..and maybe your justifiably/understandably defended, in which case I apologise in advance...but don't you think you're kinda missing the point?!?
I totally understand the point of the programme and the message it is trying to tell, but I just thought I would mention that it was strange seeing my city on the telly being Notts bloke myself and living here, obviously that was part of the reason as well why I wanted to watch this programme, we in Notts are very proud of Samantha Morton.

Crikey.. that was a tough watch. She really captured the sense of how alone Lucy was. The little girl who played her, Molly Windsor, was incredibly good.
I see Sam Morton used Nottingham as the back drop. Weird to see all the old Notts places like Arnold, Broadmarsh, Vicky Centre, Slab Square, Mansfield Road and The Park. She made Notts appear really stark.

When the present NSPCC adverts first came out, I felt the same - I felt compelled to do something, even though a little, but I like to think it helps.
know a few really good people who work for them BUT much of that bloody money people give goes into strategists/managers/ad campaigns/hotel and expenses bills etc.... Not knocking the need for strategy and management, but know sooo many great people who worked for them and left to return to local authority work 'cos they were so disgusted in how the public donations were being spent. Why oh why do people think that they are the 'saviours' and knock people who work in local authorities? My advice, for what it's worth is, if you're going to donate, give it to Barnados or Action for Children who actually do work with kids....NSPCC do v little direct work these daysWell, guess that's me!quote:Originally posted by Syd:quote:Originally posted by Supercalifragilistic:

I know Super, Its not easy, and I may be wrong in thinking you're sooooo not this but.....People who are 'Caring' for children, should be free from paperwork, bureaucracy, let an administrator deal with that in an office that a child never enters....
The programme tonight showed a child being put into a system with people that.........were not caring..
Fair enough there will be lower paid staff..giving meals, cleaning rooms, playing games...who 'keep a look out' They in my experience, are often the most caring- the ones who really love the kids
But where are the University Educated People? earning the main money and expenses?

One thing has alway's bothered me about the NSPCC, we are building contractors, we had a friend who was also a contractor, he bought 13000 pounds worth of 2nd hand carpet for his home for ÂĢ500 from an NSPCC office, it was 2 months old and the head off the office didn't like the colour.
but you're right

Don't let me go on a multiple rant here BUT NSPCC.....arrgh,

Super I am not being 'Personal', but it is a question that I need to ask...xxxxx
quote:Originally posted by Barolo
I realised that the money the NSPCC receive must go on other things apart from the kids - the cost of those adverts alone must have cost thousands! It's the same with a great many of these so-called charitable institutions - half the time they exist not to serve the purpose for which they were originally founded, but to keep their administrators/managers in a very comfortable lifestyle. I am very careful and selective when making donations!
The adverts did, however, make me think and question!

He had a fantastic Social worker a few years ago 'Roz' she lost her job because she cared too much, she got too involved with her cases. The woman was worth her weight in gold. She has now set herself up privately advising people. She still keeps in touch with me and recently helped me enormously with legal advice when I had to attend a mental health tribunal because his existing Cnut of a social worker prefers to have her cases sectioned. I won by the way thanks to 'Roz'

Her legal knowledge about mental health issues is astounding.All the time she was helping me both her parents had Alzheimerâs and she was also their care. Such a remarkable woman.
