If they are seeking legal advice regarding your kids this could mean they are looking to step it up from child protection to PLO or Interim Care Order if they do either of these you will both as parents qualify for a legal aid solicitor as its classed as public law. When choosing a solicitor ensure it's a solicitor that's not in same local authority as your children. Be proactive regarding SS do anything and everything before you have been asked to do it by them. Makes notes and familiarise yourselves with their own procedures and always refer to their own policies if needed and relevant to comversation. Keep everything child focused, don't mud sling, keep insight to what has happened and work on any parenting failures. Access every bit of support via professionals and family if possible, the more of a support network you have the better. Keep diary and calendars to show organisation
Hi,
Have they specifically mentioned there concerns? Is it because your partner will be coming home after his release? Or are there other concerns?
Good advice above. Engage positively with everything. Write everything down and ask questions about expectations. I'd start looking into legal advice also.
There are also advocacy services that support parents in these situations.

Vickie I would speak to a family law solicitor and get some advice, can you do this? You might be able to get a free half hour? Have your questions ready and see what they suggest? X
Hi we are on a child protection plan (5months since the knock) we started off on a level 1 as they didn't know all the details of what my partner was arrested for (they still don't know full extent) and they felt I couldn't keep my children safe as I'd let him have access after his release but before SS got involved. The police told us on his bail conditions he could see them but had to be supervised.
at our last core meeting we are now at level 7 as I've done everything they have asked me. Core meetings leave me stressed out as they pick over every little detail of ur life, home, work and family. I took a month off work and went back on reduced hours so I could sort it out and do what had been asked of me. I've finally increased my hours back up to work because SS think it's ok for me to do so. Only support I've had through this is work who have been so understanding and patient (I did tell them to sack me a f it made it easier for them)
I hate the meetings as I find any concerns they have are raised at the meetings and not before hand (see my post about health visitors) raising them at the meetings to me as unfair as I can't address the issue before hand. Hang in there vickie bite ur tongue and do what they ask of u.
hope ur well
