CPP- sending in my own report
Notifications OFF
more of a question than anything for anyone else who has had their children on CPP because of this situation, whether or not it's even worth it, but in my eyes enough is enough.
I'm due another CPP confrence soon, my child has been on it since before they were even born because of my OH's allegations which is still over a year and a half now no further to a conclusion. I have fought my hardest, did everything my SW and professionals have said to at least get my child on a CIN plan and nothing.
I've been passed around dozens of different SWs I don't know if its just my area, but the professionalism of these so called professionals is shocking, from the way I've been spoken to to how they actually conduct their work.
So, in these confrence meetings, every professional has to put forward their own report, is it worth putting in my OWN report? I have evidence that my current SW isn't keeping to the CPP requirements on their side as the same issues have happened numourous times as well as other bits which is more of a relfection on their performance or lack there of.
My worry is would it make any difference? I've stuck to every requirement & request made, asked my current SW what can be done to descalate things and never really get an answer. I've even thought about putting in a complaint about my experience as a whole (which I will do when this is FINALLY over), but I'm worried that if I request for another SW then they'll be a lot worse.
Does anyone else think that this is worth doing, would it make things worse or would I even be allowed to put my own reports in? thanks xx

My children were on a child in need plan. We only had 2 child in need meetings and then social services closed their case. I believe they closed our case because I fought our corner. This was all via email aswell as me putting my point across during the meetings. Off my own back I funded and completed an online child safeguarding course and made them aware that although I knew the seriousness of the alleged offences and was not minimising any of it, I was also aware that I was fully competent to care for and safeguard our children aswell as standing by and supporting my OH. I would say from my own experience yes to submitting your own report as your views are also important in the meetings but be careful how you word things.
Hi Bub, your post triggered so many memories for me and I'm so sorry to know you're going through such a challenging time with SS.
We also did everything asked of us but remained on CPP plan for about 18 months. We were only moved to a CIN plan when SS knew the relationship was finally over and divorce was imminent.
At every CPP confrence all our actions would be completed but SS would have failed to meet their requirements. We made sure though that we went through the plan line by line in each meeting to demonstrate that all our actions were complete.
I think it's worth you asking the chair is you can submit your own report outlining everything you've done as that will then be on record but I'm not sure it will make any difference.
There are people on here with far more knowledge on this than me so hopefully one of them will read your post and give you a more helpful reply than I can.

thanks for the replies, I think I'll definitly be going ahead with writting a full report pretty similarly to how I've seen their reports being done, the good the bad but keeping it more informative than emotional as I know from experience that won't get me anywhere.
And Ocean I'm sorry to hear that, personally I've felt like SS have been trying to push us to separate since day one, constantly asking what my plan is when even now I honestly don't know. Some days I'm adament I want to keep a relationship, others I could happily sign divorce papers, it just feels unfair that the only thing to descalate things is to separate, but I am looking a lot into assessments, courses, just anything to get them out of mine and my child's life until we finally have answers xx
