So after initially thinking that ss would allow me to supervise, they've come back saying it will be recommended that I can supervise in the community. I've asked why in the community and not in our homes. Was met with the response that sw will contact visor as it will depend on the risk level from them.
I have responded that this would not be what I want long term but could be an option while they conduct adequate assessments on both of us. I've also requested sight of any recommendations before sent to sw manager. Put in a subject access request too because nobody is actually communicating any concerns to me which is frustrating because I could challenge/address their concerns. I'm going to contact the family rights group tomorrow with the limited information I have but I wanted to rant and maybe see if anyone has had similar experiences xx

No, it's all internet conditions. PO did say the other week about it being okayed by her and ss but that's not in his conditions. I'm so confused by it all, I shouldn't have to be teaching people their jobs. It makes it harder because PO and visor didn't voice any concerns to me but obviously I haven't seen the referral yet so I don't know what was said on it xx

Edit; visor thought I was supervising anyway. They both said that they didn't have concerns about my ability to safeguard our daughter xx

Not necessarily onside just to my face lol. PO has stated concerns in her referral apparently. I have written a safety plan but haven't done courses since the older ones were small and that was only through volunteering at their school. I have stated to sw what I plan to do as baby gets older (pantosaurus and teaching her anatomically correct names). In all honesty I really hate that I now have to prove my parenting ability when I have nearly 20 years experience and have a completely open relationship with my children so much so that I have spoken to them about porn addiction and the grey area they are now in around dating amongst their peer group. I will obviously do anything necessary but worry that if I do courses now as opposed to when baby gets older they'll argue that it will be outdated. I've emailed visor to ask for any documents other than his SHPO that has conditions on. Sw should call tomorrow to read the referral over the phone to me so I'll know what was said and by whom. I was so confident that it would be approved and this has thrown all sorts of feelings up xx
