Conference-positive?
Notifications OFF
Anyone had a positive outcome at their conference?
For context my husband was arrested almost 9 years ago for IIOC and 1 sharing. He is no longer under SOR or any other restrictions. We are pregnant with our first baby due in 5 weeks.
SS has stated my husband will only be allowed supervised contact in a contact centre, despite us making a rigorous safety plan.
We do have a solicitor who is basically saying not to agree to their demands as it is not justified or proportionate but the thought of court orders absolutely terrify me.
We have drafted statements to plead our case at our conference to keep our family together with a safety plan in place. Has anyone had a positive outcome and been able to change SS minds?
TIA

Do they still have a SHPO in place, if theyre off the SOR I doubt they do. I do think SS are being unreasonable. Legally there arent restrictions, but they act with caution. Forcing one of you out the home for an offence so many years back now to me seems too much.
Im not at that end of things yet, but I am trying my best to make SS realise we are doing everything to prevent any future offending. My husband did IIOC possession and distribution offences and I have been allowed to supervise contact where ever and when ever I like he just couldn't stay over night at the same address. Which we managed. There now legally isnt any restrictions but we havent moved back yet despite being able to legally because I know SS will freak out. Hopefully with a robust family plan and you being well informed on any red flag or warning signs that he may offend again. Having all the know how and the fact to give to them will help.

Thank you for your reply. No he has no police involvement. It does seem really unreasonable to me as he hasn't offended in almost nine years!
Case conference is on Thursday so we will see.
Best of luck for your journey

I hope they see sense and leave you alone. A CPP isnt the be all and end all and despite them pushing for exclusion they might get nothing. Hopefully the conference will see the big picture and see sense.
There are categories they have to meet to put you on CPP theyll probably try risk of sexual harm/abuse because thats why we are under a CPP. Not because they think he will hurt her now or that shes been exposed to anything. But because in 10 years! Time he will....
So just be prepared for that kind of logic from them.
I would advise if you havent done it yet to get onto the inform course for yourself.
