Will the treatment and support they offer help him
Notifications OFF
On Monday (3days ago) my partner was arrested for downloading images he was taken and questioned and gone for 5hours. He was released with bail to my parents house and told to only see the children under supervision. He was given some courses (online) and helpline numbers to look at and complete. He thinks that this will help his case and that one day he will be able come back to the family home which I cannot afford on my own. Will he lose his job? (He works in grocery store) they have been good and said they will support us while reassuring me it will remain a private matter between those in management it concerns and I get the impression they are looking at him being able to keep his job. Social services has rang to say they will appoint someone to our case which I’ve been waiting for the knock on the door since the police left the premises and the wait is killing me as I have so much to ask and want to hear what advice they offer. I feel so alone.
Hi rusty.
This is all new to you so please take your time, get in touch with the Lucy faithful helpline and take it day by day.
The courses and resources are very helpful for offenders and family and friends. My partner explained that unfortunately he had to hit rock bottom to get the help he needed. But he really appreciated the inform course. He needed it to really reflect on his behaviour and how to avoid offending again.
When it comes to his job hopefully he will be ok. It isn't a role where he is in direct contact with children. My partner lost his job coz he was in the public sector. Your partner doesn't need to disclose investigations, only when charged if asked. So if it doesn't work out there are job options. My partner was sentenced last year and works in engineering and got a new job a few months ago.
This may be a long process, ranges months to maybe a few years from knock to sentencing (if it goes that far). What is best is to focus on rehabilitation and working with the authorities.
Big hugs
