Why Don't Gwynedd Council Like Step Parents ?

I have been trying to raise a stage 2 complaint against Gwynedd Council since June, 2016, without success. Gwynedd have done everything in their power to thwart an independent investigation into what I consider to be unprofessional behaviour and systemic failings within their Children and Families Services (!) Department.

As Gwynedd Council close one door I have attempted to open another. How ? By contacting my MP, local councillors, county councillors, AM's and even the Ombudsman for Wales. The story is getting out there.

I have noticed a pattern in all those who have contacted Gwynedd Council on my behalf. They are all told that I am NOT the birth father. Why ? What difference do these people think that makes ?

Are they saying that a step parent cares less for a child ?

The last person to point this out this was Gwynedd Council's Head Of Legal Services , Iwan G D Evans.

Does Mr Evans think that people who marry others should have less care for their partners children ?
Or is this an attempt by Iwan Evans to somehow belittle the concerns I am raising with other people ?
