Social services closing
Notifications OFF
Social worker is about to close us, she has said OH is working alongside probation so there isn't a need for them to be involved any more. I have supervised contact throughout and he has been aloud to stay at home. There are no contact restrictions in his SHPO just internet based. What happens now in regards to contact? Who is the decision maker with contact? X
As there is no restrictions he should be able to have unsupervised. I checked with ss, they agreed.
You need to check with SS what they expect. Closing the case doesn't necessarily mean that you can go back to unsupervised contact. Closing the case means they're happy with what you're doing but don't need any active involvement from them at the moment. If they say you need to continue with supervised contact for now, ask how long before they would be happy to assess for unsupervised and what the process is/who to contact. That he has been allowed to live at home is a good sign though, and hopefully you can return to normal.
I made sure it was written in the safety plan before case was closed that my oh could be unsupervised and probation officer said it needed to be in there also or at least some evidence to say he was allowed. Always best to get it in writing because without if they find out his unsupervised they can open case again and say you've gone against the plan
Hi Emma you say on your post at the moment you are supervising contcat what you need to find out is when can your child have unsupervised contact and have socail done a risk assment with Lucy faithfull they can tell you what age they feel like he can see his kids unspervised to be honest ot really depends on the age of your children and if they can protect them self and make sure you get a written letter saying what is the plan forward because for any reason they were to coke back you can tell them this was said if that makes sence . In my case my son can have unspervised contact when he is between agar of 7 and 8 and I can Deside that that's wht socail have said after the risk assment and my husband is not staying with us at the moment my little boy is 4 at the moment and I have been advised to keep safe woek when he is little order .
