Protective Parent Assessment
Notifications OFF
Hello
I am just wanting a bit of reassurance really - after a long awaited affair to get started on my protective parent assessment which I completed last week with an independent SW I am now awaiting the report which I was told would be written up, and checked with the Manager on Monday just gone and I would recieve this by today. I have patiently been waiting as this means a lot to me as I feel I am but it's out of my control for what the outcome may be? (I always worry and doubt myself)
Any experiences as to who's have come back as a protective parent / not a protective parent?
And what were your next steps either way?
I am no longer in a relationship with that person, and he is step dad to my daughter since she was 2, and is now 7 and sees her between 1 / 2 hours a week if that now.

I was very worried about this too but my report came back assessing me as being protective.
lots of in depth questions, all answered honestly. We had told my 9 year old about the offence already, and I had discussed the fact that children can sometimes be harmed by adults who know them and people they trust. There isn't any suggestion of that in our case, but the fact that we were being open and honest with the kids was a big tick in our favour.
Good luck and as long as houve been open and honest with them hopefully you will get the result that you need.

Thank you - did you have to complete any work with it coming back as protective? She was saying that she will send me the report but then also visit to go through it? Is this what happened with you?
My OH and I both sat down with her and she gave us the 'highlights'. We need to go in this week to actually sit down and read the whole thing before any actions recommended in it are taken, presumably so we can contest anything we aren't happy with before it's set in stone I think!
I had no work to complete, she was very happy that I was doing what was needed to be protective but maybe she'll recommend something when I read the full report. I don't think there will be anything compulsory though.
You no longer being in a relationship with the person will go a long way to assessing you as protective I would think.
