My ex was arrested 11 months ago. Was on bail and conditions were supervised contact with our child and no overnight stays etc. We split up immediately, he had to leave the home, he's now got his own place and things are difficult but we remain on good terms although the first months were a struggle we now get on just fine. He sees our child in my home often with me supervising.
Bail was ended recently with him still under investigation, police have said as far as they're concerned he can go about his usual life and see his child.
I rang social services as they previously closed the case on us and said just stick to bail conditions but now wanting to know where we stand with having unsupervised contact as there are no bail conditions. SS are coming to see me in a week for a meeting at my home and I have no idea what to expect.

Anyone have any similar experiences?
Feel very worried about them judging and what they might say.

Hi, I haven't got to your stage yet but from what SS are threatening with me, even when bail has ended and if it goe further they've said they still won't let him home.

I've also been told even if there is NFA they can still refuse him to come home - haven't had a good experience with SS they've caused more stress than that the whole investigation is causing as we can't live a normal life as possible as they keep dipping in and out with visits.



Hope you're OK.

Hope you don't mind me asking but have bail conditions ended because of NFA or is he being charged?

Bail has ended because the courts refused the extension of bail. So its still under investigation but he is not on bail and has no conditions as far as the police are concerned.

We wont be getting back together so there is no worry for getting him back living with us, he just wants to see his child unsupervised and be able to go on days out together.

My husbands (we have stayed together) doesn't have restrictions with under 18 since being sentenced. We have chosen to stick with bail conditions. We are working with professional to show he is not high risk before we move ahead with unsupervised contact. Which included a specialist assessment via LFF. Probation to do an assessment and him doing his RAR days and continuing his therapy. SS have made it very clear they would be concerned if we did unsupervised without this done
