Hi,

unconditional bail or having conditions removed from his bail such as no unsupervised contact with children can be decided if the police deem it appropriate but it is different to ss and the other parent allowing unsupervised contact. Both things would need to happen for any changes to be made to your current safety plan

Even if you were in agreement that he could have more freedom with his own children there would still be assessments needed by ss so removing bail conditions wouldn't automatically mean that he could have unsupervised or overnight access.
To the best of my knowledge you talking to his solicitor wouldn't make any difference in what bail conditions are put on him xxx

My partner had unconditional bail for 5 years, but wasn't allowed unsupervised access to his child and had to have an independent social worker present during his time with his daughter - no overnight stays.
I hope this helps!

Ah so basically he will be same as the condition he has now. For how long the conditional bail last ? Can he challenge? Is your daughter a primary school like mine ?

Who imposed it ? The court ?

Thank you very much

Hi again,

You won't be able to challenge it, just thank your lucky stars it's unconditional. My partner was on this for 5 years while awaiting trial, as the CPS messed around for so long gathering their evidence against him.

He has his own daughter, who was only born 3 years ago - I have two children of my own, both of which were in primary school until recently, now one is in secondary.

Just keep doing what you can to move forward - I would imagine SS will have some involvement. For us, they didn't do anything other than say he wasn't allowed to spend time around them, but as he wasn't part of my original family unit and didn't live here, that was easier to deal with. SS will do an assessment and tell you what the rules are in their eyes, even if there are unconditional bail terms present.
SS see things as guilty until proven innocent, not the other way around.

The CPS and police gave the unconditional bail.

Keep your chin up - the whole process is tough and if you want to talk, send me a PM.

Yes - agreed with above poster, contact them first yourself and leave it with them. Better to have been honest and tell them, than them hear and tell you.
Show you're being proactive, and they will have a better view of you as a protective parent!
