Social services back again

Looking for some advice.
Husband was sentenced a little over a month ago now, 2 years suspended sentence, SOR and SHPO 10 years. Before plea hearing, husband had been living at home with safety plan of no unsupervised contact and social services closed case. Family wellbeing became involved due to husband being in crisis with mental health and said he needed to move out. Social services have got involved again now he's been sentenced and started assessment and said he isn't allowed any contact with our child for now. I said my end goal would be to be a family again if social services deems it safe. She basically said she doesn't see how I can safeguard our child in the long run if he comes home, that I need a plan of what I'm going to do and asked if I thought my husband was a risk to our child. Obviously I know in my heart he would never hurt her but I know saying 'no' looks bad so I said that due to conviction there will always be some sort of risk and now I'm worried I've come across as though I believe there is a risk. Just confused and don't really know what to say. She just made it seem like I'm not capable of keeping my child safe if husband was to come home but then in another breathe said that I'm a protective parent and doing everything correctly.
Please any advice on what I should say, what husband should/shouldnt say, anything that helped?
Will he ever be able to come home? :(
