Can't believe it, delayed again, for the second time.
due in court today and been moved to may 2026.(delayed 18months ago too) By the time this goes to trial (if it even does) it'll be 5.5years since the arrest.

I am devastated. Social services won't let us leave CPP until court outcome, won't even allow independent assessments.

how is this our life?

Id query why independent assessments haven't been done with your 1 to 1 chat with the chair at your next meeting if you dont have a good relationship with your SS. We have litrally been on a CPP for less then a week and an independent assessment for us is already in the process (I did talk about it for about 4 months as a good step forwards for the future safety of our child and other children).

Unfortunately we've approached it MANY times, our social worker likes us but management do not, we have jumped thousands of hurdles, been promised stuff and then they back track and now they've said independent assessments will not take place until after a trial.
the charges are complicated but even the judges have questions if it's still in the public interest after this amount of time.

SS don't like it that I've stuck by my OH, mainly because the charges are so barbaric, but they then think I'm naive about the situation.

our social worker openly says she NEVER known a CPP to go on this long. We've been part of SS longer than she has to be honest.

thanks for taking the time to respond.
