So after months of waiting I had my 2nd PLO meeting my original social worker wasn't attending due to illness my new one (who I haven't met yet) was on leave. Just me, my solicitor, head social worker, a stand in social worker and the solicitor representing them.
my solicitor told me I'd get a a decision either the PLO would end or I'd have to go to court to prove to a judge Im a good mum as they don't extend PLO's and wrap them up quickly.
oh no not my joke of a social care team. No paperwork (contract of agreement) sent to either myself or my solicitor , they had so much info wrong in the meeting like my youngests age, they said he wasn't potty trained but he is they also mentioned other stuff that was wrong (I believe she was going off the old report)

my children have not seen there dad since Christmas 2020 but I'm having a hard time proving it and was even told by one of them if I admitted they had seen him then they could accept it work on it and move on I won't admit to something I've not done. I don't want mental health help and that goes against me (only anxiety and mental health I have is when social team are visiting or I have a online meeting with them) so my PLO is now extended to middle March now in the meantime they will send a new contract of agreement out to my solicitor for us to go through and see if we agree (i know if I don't they will say I'm being difficult and not co-operating)

I'm sorry for the long post and ranting on but I'm so angry with them for what little work and preparation they have done on there part they have had months to prepare. I'd like to call them many names with useless and incompetent inserted around swear words but again I can't as it goes against me. I hope my solicitor points the failings out on there part but I don't think she wants to rock the boat and make things more difficult for me.
thanks for reading I don't expect any replies I just needed to vent somewhere where someone would understand how useless social workers are

Also my ex is still waiting to go to court and be charged 14 months after his arrest

Thank you so much upset mum for showing u care x

hi vickie do u get the feeling that they had the PLO planned from day one? I do I've always felt that between my child's school and the social workers they had decided I couldn't care for my child and they would be best in the care on the grandparents (my ex-in-laws his parents) they think the sun shines out of the arses of his parents. I've argued if my child's telling school he's seen his dad then it's not through me and maybe it is his parents that are allowing contact not me but no one listens. For the last year I've completely cut my ex out of our lives but again social services think otherwise. Friends and family tell me I'm a great mum but it takes one bad word from school or his parents to social worker or for the social worker to have made her mind up already about something and I'm fighting a loosing battle they don't listen to what I say then wonder why I get angry at them. I hope it all works out for u x

Thank you dawn I have support but it seems social services have made there mind you about me already.
great news again for u hopefully ours will be over in March 15 months after the arrest x
