We (parents) are about to meet our son's probation officer in a home visit. Any advice on what to ask or not discuss! ?

Thanks

All was fine. I think they felt a bit bombarded with our efficient notes & husband's 'spread sheet' - helps him control the chaos!
We just wanted them to understand that we are supporting our son in his future.

They were worried when we suggested a shared house in the future,rather than be isolated in individual flat/ bedsit.

I was amazed at how many organisations are offering rehab programs,employment guidance,financial guidance etc etc.
He has been referred to Circles for mentoring,Catch 22 for wellbeing,3SC for autism screening,Browns & Ingenus for employment. And so the list goes on!



A sort of positive interaction although they do seem overstretched. A waiting list of 200 for the next Horizon programme!
