Grounds for changing probation officer
Notifications OFF
Morning,
Has anyone changed their probation officer? Is it an easy thing to do? Did it make things awkward for the person changing whilst going through the process and attending appointments with the officer they were trying to change?
Requested a meeting with PO and visor as I wanted to go back to ss to have wording amended on safety plan. Meeting was ok, I had a bit of an issue with PO attitude but overall good. Referral put in to ss but no mention of our meeting or what we were actually asking for. She has focused solely on the fact that we said we were looking at rebuilding our relationship in the future and stated that my children were now at increased risk (older ones have no contact and me and little one see him once a week and follow safety plan).
I think that the sw can see that I'm not anywhere near rebuilding a relationship so that's positive and hopefully will agree to the wording amendment to give us more flexibility and allow me to supervise without his parents. The concern that I have now is that with probation saying one thing to us and something completely different to ss my ex/partner is furious and doesn't want anything to do with her. I'm worried that he won't fully engage and obviously this will impact his progress. Any thoughts or experiences welcome please xx

Sorry, I had read Losts post about going back through probation for ss referrals to be put in. I wanted to meet his po and visor to ask a few questions about the process of monitoring him and what assessments have been done by them etc. Apologies for not making myself clear on that bit. Original safety plan was done by me long before I had the baby and while he was remanded so I asked for his parents to be there as I didn't know how I would be around him. Will look at unlock, it's something that he is considering and I think with how he feels at the moment it may be the best thing going forward. Thanks for replying Lee xx
Ah, thank you I got the wrong end of the stick then lol. Yeah contact just to be supervised by me. I hadn't put about any reviews because in all honesty I never expected to want to be in a relationship with him again. Before this one is signed off I'm going to discuss reviews probably annually as I don't see things progressing quickly xx
Thank you. I've never signed anything with ss anyway. I've been lucky really with them in the sense of they've come in and asked what I want and left me alone xx
