Protective Parent Assessment outcome
Notifications OFFPost deleted by user
It sounds like you're having an anxious and stressful time waiting for the outcome. Do you know when you'll hear?
I wonder if anyone else on the forum has had this assessment. I'm imagining I'll need one of my own soon.
I wouldn't worry unduly about it saying youre not protective, but if it did say this the likely outcome would be a recommendation for you to do a parenting programme to help you develop the skills to be protective, and in the meantime a safety plan would be in place.
They wouldn't be going to court to remove your child from your care unless you were clearly going against safety planning or in some other way putting your child at risk of significant harm AND there was no way to mitigate against this harm

Hi
I have a son of a similar age and so I was assessed. A lot depends on the level they assess at - Child Protection, Child in Need, or Early Help. I was assessed at the Early Help stage as a matter of procedure. At this stage its voluntary which i agreed to as I did not want to invite concern around be uncooperative. There were 2 visits and now I'm waiting for a report which is due in the next few weeks. As far as the Social worker has said they think my son and I are doing well. I've been clear that his safety is my top priority and I would dump the other half in a heart beat if it was a choice which I would. They're clear that I would absolutely hold up the bail conditions, etc. From what the Social worker said they may recommend therapy or mentoring support for my son down the line. I'm clear that I would seek this out when he is ready which may be when this all goes to court. I've already told my son who is very much an introvert that I will accept his position of feeling that he doesn't need to talk about it because he feels he had a good relationship with his father and any consequences are months away so he is getting on with his life. I have said that this will be way too big to process by himself and if not with me then with a counsellor. Early Help often recommend parenting support for a variety of referrals to them.
I must admit I was still pretty nervous around those visits and I was not productive at work before those visits. So I'm feel your angst.
Take care

Hi,
I've recently got my assessment outcome which is hugely negative. Whilst it's not LFF it's been completed by an independent social worker who has a background working with sexual offenders.
They are now taking me to pre proceedings. My heart is Broken. I have kept my daughter and my partner apart. But my compliance doesn't seen to be enough
My partner is currently RUI following a communication offence with a minor over seas during a period of separation two years ago. We are awaiting outcome from cps

I'm so sorry Sunstax, that's incredibly difficult. Do you have legal representation? Can you challenge aspects of the assessment? Has your partner had a separate assessment to determine his risk?
