Why set up iLegallyAfford?

I was subjected to years of abuse by a local council and its legal representatives, including false accusations, bullying, blackmail, presentation of misleading evidence and more.  Throughout this process, I’ve continued to fight – not just for myself but for every other person who is, or may be, failed by the lack of income necessary to pay for legal interventions against unjust treatment, as a result lack access to justice because Employment Tribunal   law is complex and expensive to use.

The GMP requested  evidence  of Stockport Council’s  letter with an “allegations management form in 2015” which included sensitive personal information. Internal emails from Stockport council stated, “the council has no evidence that suggests PM represents an immediate risk to  the safety of herself and others”.

Participation in Channel is voluntary and confidential and is not a criminal sanction. It is, in my respectful view, entirely regrettable that individuals within the Council, who confess to having no medical training, persistently shared untrue information with third parties with impunity and, without my consent in bad faith.

My reputation has been significantly harmed in this regard and, whilst of course I recognise the genuine duty to disclose concerns under Section 26 CTSA, these circumstances did not, legitimately, fall into the relevant categories as proven by Counter Terrorism.

The most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do was to  leave behind the nights of terror and fear in order to rise and bring forward the gifts that my ancestors gave to me. I am the dream and the hope of individuals  who have suffered emotional and psychological damage as a result of their experiences, which can affect their ability to work and move on.
