Social services visit.
Notifications OFF
So on Thursday I have a social worker coming to do a safety plan as we have a 15yr old son in the house. My 21yr old son was arrested for iioc 3 weeks ago. I had two calls previously letting me know someone would be in touch. First person was lovely, second told me off for not being strong this third one was understanding and kind as I cried down the phone. She said she imagined it would be an initial short visit, anyone know what I need to be doing?
On my first call I said we had a few close friends that we'd told that he could talk to, we'd contacted the help line here and had given my youngest details of places to go, websites, help lines etc that he could go to. I said that we wouldn't be leaving them alone in the house, even though the police had said that as he is a male they had no concerns regarding safety and that at 15 it was obvious he would tell us if he had any concerns, the social worker said I was doing everything right.
What else do I need to do to ensure they think my youngest is safe in his own home? I can't get my eldest to leave and my youngest has adamantly said that isn't an option anyway. Out off all of us he's dealing with this the best. He's so pragmatic and grown up.
My stomach is in knots, I know we've done nothing wrong but it feels like I'm being judged. Any advice would be really helpful.
