Introduction

The Phoenix Report is an accurate account of questionable actions of public authorities as directed against an entire family with 9 children, particularly the author who will forthwith be referred to as the claimant.

In accordance with protecting individual rights of public servants and to protect the children involved, the identities of the parties will be withheld unless the involvement of such a party necessitates that individuals name be publicly disclosed, as is the case with the then Secretary of State Estelle Morris.

Estelle Morris chaired a planning meeting concerning Child4 at Princess Margaret Hospital Swindon on 31st July 2000. This in itself – although unusual - is not significant. What is significant is that Swindon Borough Council disclosed a false report of the meeting. Estelle Morris is not mentioned anywhere in the report with the meeting recorded as chaired by a social services manager who never even attended.
