Assessment
Notifications OFF
Hi not posted in a while but in July my partner recieved a suspended sentence for comms and 1 image.
Anyway he is still in the family home and we have a CP plan and out child is on register. I'm not gonna lie SS have been up and down but appear to be supportive of family staying together but they are trying to force me to tell other people (family members) despite me being estranged from them etc
Anyway today I was told that we had both been referred for risk assessment - me yo Caspar? And my partner I assume to find out if he is a risk to our child.
The waiting lists for these are huge - anyone had any experience with these assessments and what should I expect?

Thankyou for your reply
it's specialist risk assessments from SS they are after I'm not sure what they're called but I have to have a CASPAR assessment to assess my protectivnees - I have been deemed as protective from SW but they want the actual assessment? and he has to have one to basically see if he is a risk to his child I guess.
They use a specific independent company and the wait list is 2 yrs but trying to get approval to use another company but that wait list is 6 months.
He was classed as medium risk with probation there were no specific restrictions around staying in the family home on SHPO it was SS discretion.
They are concerned that I have no 'network' and I have parents living nearby who could act as that network. I do not speak to them and therefore would not wish to use them as a network.
They see this as a risk as I have no back up if anything happens to me - my argument is that's the case regardless of whether dad is in the home or not so him being in the home makes no difference.
There's history with my parents I would prefer not to go into - it's not relevant and it's personal but they are persisting.
I just worry about these assessments should I be?
My partner is seeing a private counsellor and is waiting to get in the offenders course with stop it now so the work is being done. I'm seeing a private counsellor too just to have an outlet for me and to help me with my emotions.
I have all the pressure on me to protect and safeguard my child and it's led to me experiencing separation anxiety from my child and I am fearful of my child being taken away or being away from me - even when at school I find myself constantly emotional and worried :-(
