Hi,

There is hope yes, but it does take time. My husband was arrested in June 2024, NFA June 2025 and he just been allowed home fully unsupervised this month.

We had 2 assessments, first was June-August and closed with a safety plan.

His bail conditions were then changed to come home if children's services agreed. We then had another assessment and we were told 45 days, it was early October until the last week in February.



Anything is possible but it does take time. We had an assessment each, both did the inform and inform plus course. We then had to do a phased return home.

Hello! Youre daughter is older than mine (6 months) so understandably sounds like this has been very difficult and upsetting for your daughter. Additionally, this sounds very stressful for you :( I finished my capacity to protect assessment and then I waited 4 weeks with 0 contact from SS but on the 45th day at 2pm in the afternoon (after I bugged them) they agreed I am allowed to supervise and I was discharged from SS. My ex partner is temporarily staying in the caravan in the garden until we find seperate homes. I personally found having space quite beneficial for my mental health and to have breathing space.

Have they done this assessment on you yet? I found SS to be quite triggering to begin with but once I got a social worker who was more experienced and they answered my direct questions and felt on the same page with them. X
