I've been appointed a new health visitor as my previous one left her position. I was told her name in the last core meeting but didn't hear from her till 3days before my next core meeting. She rang firing questions at me about my children and the medication they are on then tried to tell me how to administer the medication. This was after 20mins of her talking at me until I lost my temper and told her I didn't know her she doesn't know me or my children apart from what's wrote on a bit of paper about us and told her that I thought because I'd not heard from her until then and she was rushing to write a report for the next meeting. I was at work and told her numerous times that I was and couldn't really talk but she kept on at me. I've found that anybody in authority and dealing with my kids talk at me and don't listen to what I have to say
sorry for the rant

Hi Rusty,



I would imagine it will be at least once a month as u say to do their report unless they need to see u more often, they will only when they need to a bit like my social worker, rocks up once a month to see the kids.

Hi, so I heard from and was visited by socaim services every 20 days and the HV seemed to do super quick show my face before the next CIN meeting phone calls. Think she came out twice in 6 months and she attended maybe 2/3 of fhe 6 weekly CIN meeting in the 6 months, never had anything to say as she didn't put any time into knowing us. xx
