Hmm, the CMC can be a bit of a grey area. Oh, they're interested in things that go on with DoCS - but crime or misconduct has to have been carried out.

Misconduct itself is rife through DoCS office. So rife that it's common practice. But to get it to the CMC it's got to be juicy.

In my situation, where they hit me with a notification 48 hours after they hit a friend of mine with the exact same notification - it was juicy.

The notification was word-for-word from the exact same worker to the both of us. Same notification, same supposed behaviours from the children, same activities the children were doing.

The worker accused me of smelling a rat and putting 2 and 2 together (can't think of the word he actually used)... But my solicitor arced up straight away and said that it wasn't me who was concerned - that there were a group of SOLICITORS who are VERY concerned that were now considering taking it to the CMC.

Just 2 weeks later the worker is in a new job away from DoCS.
