So after my husbands psychological assessment he has now been deemed low risk for any contact offence and medium to online offences...I had an original capacity to protect assessment and they said at that time they didn't want me to supervise until they further understand my husbands offending, as they weren't sure if I'd be able to protect th kids or not without this information.



Now this has come back. It's like their whole approach has changed, they want an end goal of my husband coming home, they plan to work with me over the next 4-6 weeks and complete an addendum to the assessment (assuming this meaning addition work to the original document).



I have covered many situations throughly and have backup contacts and safe places to go in the case the worst happens, I just have a few questions ...



if my husband is to come home full time with the children under my supervision how did you navigate around night time? As I'll have a newborn my idea would be for him to sleep in a separate room until both kids are sleeping in their own rooms (I have CCTV and door sensors so I know if husband was to access their rooms at night)



Also with the biggest risk to the children being exposure through the internet (or their dads offence getting out to the public which thankfully it hasn't as of now). I was wondering what i could do to better protect in this aspect, I've looked at increased Internet security and accessing internet only at certain times of day not in front of the kids (unless absolutely necessary), just thinking of as many ideas as I can to ensure the kids aren't exposed to anything (all being well my husband would not reoffend but have to be vigilant of course). I've already said we'd move areas and go as far as name changing if anything was ever to get out, but all being well this won't happen we hope.



i want to get this assessment right, is it normal for the social to seem more relaxed after a psych assessment has been completed? Seems almost as if some responsibility has been taken off them....just hoping they work with me and let me supervise, they want to start gradually with me and work to husband coming home over a time span, (not entirely sure how long and don't want to ask as seems a bit pushy and don't want to go down as not understanding...)



Thanks! Hoping we finally have a goal after 2 years of nothing changing
