Risk assessment

as soon as we got the knock we did as police suggested and got in touch with Lucy Faithfull - was really helpful.
as a result me and partner talked about him seeing a therapist. He denies doing anything illegal but admits it was morally dodgy. So he been seeing a forensic psycho sexual psychologist. She has now said she is ready to write a report which says he is no risk of contact offending. I am speaking to her this week myself to corroborate this. She is also going to speak to the SW in our case to let her know what my partner has told her ( so SW can cross reference with police).
Do you think this will be helpful in long run?

Wonderful news. I can’t see how it would hinder, only help Big Sigh.
Good luck!
Good luck!
My social worker said they would only take a Psychologist report from a recommended list of approved people. They said not to bother to look into one that the police and social services didn't recommend.
Hi KLK
i can imagine they would say something like that, but so far that they have suggested nothing so far except for a vague “try not to be alone with the children in the house” to my partner and then a couple of weeks in the same suggestion to me - try not to let him be in the house on his own with the children. I have complied with this (from the day I got the knock, even before suggested to me as I went onto the website and saw this was something which might be suggested).
The Sw knows he is seeing this therapist and has spoken to her twice so far - she hasn’t indicated that they won’t listen to the therapist, so if they suddenly say this after we have spent a load of money on therapist then I won’t be pleased.
by getting this report I am trying to i) get some help for my partner 2) just reassure myself that the risk to kids is not there 3) show SS I am taking PROPORTIONATE measures to safeguard against identified risk - ie that he is fine to be in house when I am there.
we haven’t had CP conference yet and no date for it, but hoping that getting this done will be helpful. Therapist writes reports for court so hoping that her credentials will show she is thorough, experienced and can be trusted.
