Hi Colaroo
We had a Risk Assessment (husband) and Protector assessment (me) to say whether or not my husband could have supervised contact at the family home. We both had a separate interview with a social worker and then a joint interview. The following headings were used as a basis for their questions.
• Family Composition
• Reason for Risk Assessment/Protector Assessment
• Motivation for completing Risk Assessment/Protector Assessment
• Areas of work undertaken
• Husband/Partner/Wife Personal and Social History
• Childhood and Family Relationships
• Employment and education history
• Relationship History
• Criminal History
• Alcohol and drug use
• Mental Health
• Understanding of Sexual Abuse
• Understanding of Sex Offending
• Victim Empathy and Awareness
• Risk Husband/Partner poses to child/ren
• Voice of the Child
• Signs of Safety
o a) What are we worried about?
o b) What’s working well?
o c) What needs to happen?
• Conclusion and Recommendations
At the time I also struggled to find any information to help me as to what to expect so hope this is of some help to you. I also found a document under Google - "London Safeguarding Children Board Guidelines Assessing …" helpful; although this is for IIOC it may act as a starter to help your case.

Thank you so much for ur reply my sw has be no help at all as he he never done 1 before. So hate going in to a meeting blind
Hi hun not got much to say but I know how u feel my sw has never done a case like this and I understand what u mean about going blind and we having the trouble of also information not adding up different release dates and different transcript outcomes,, so tried now xx
Ss drive me more crazy then waiting for the police to be done. I spend more time angry and upset over ss then I do with my husband and the police. It's crazy I understand that they have to protect the kids but what ever happen to innocent until proven guilty. It's his kids that suffer the most it's been nearly a year since they have seen each other properly and if worse case and he ends up with prison why couldn't his child get to spend time with him before he is sent away why can't he tell his children what he has done and that he will be going away for some time why is it left to us mums to pick up all the pieces. Rant over!!
I understand hun I am of a different playing field cause my partner was taken straight in remained and then I had to tell my 4 Yr and 13yrs old,, they know the truth for age related,, but ss have not made it any better at all and when I told her what I had been told she went on to say she did not think I was taking it on board and that she had concerns. I said I do but also I have not asked for him to come home and I have not said we can be a normal family honest get u nowhere thro this,, then they wounder why people are like they are,,
