So started my protective assessment last week which actually makes me sad as it's me that hasn't done anything wrong.

No longer in a relationship, but am currently living in his house until i hear something from housing but limited contact with my little girl (he is/was step dad)

Feel like the assessment is going OK, a little nervous about the one next week as it's looking into my background which I think will be difficult .



Have filed a complaint against SW for lots of reasons, who is now currently on long term sick is this normal behaviour? So currently my little girl doesn't have a social worker and hasn't done for about a month? She is on a cpp, next conference isn't until July which I hoping she can come off it

Hey I had a protective parenting assessment to. I found having something to fiddle with super helpful. I panicked a lot and kept thinking I was going to fail it. But they assessed me as a protective parent.

If you dont want to discuss something you dont have to with them. They ask a lot of questions and they dont judge. Theyre not trying to trip you up. They just want to understand you.

I know have our supervising SS worker because my old SS was "going on leave"

I feel I end up just mumbling. After such a horrific experience with Social Services it's knocked me even more so, it's made me feel I aren't good enough. I know how to protect my little girl so I'm confident it will come back fine but I just have visions on the old SW saying bad stuff, and that will change their mind. It's been an awful time ????
