Social Assessment After Sentence
Notifications OFF
First post, hoping someone can advise...
My ex partner was sentenced recently, a prison sentence of which my ex will serve a year for a non contact offence.
My ex moved out of home immediately upon arrest, we separated and will not be getting back together.
We had a social service assessment completed and closed with no child in need plan, this occured when ex was first arrested, we agreed supervised access but my children changed their minds and no access took place.
My children (13 and 15) have now made it very clear that they want nothing to do with my ex partner... no visits, no contact at all
We had no further contact from social services at all.
Since sentencing I have had contact from the officer in charge, they said that a probation officer and social services would be in touch once my ex is released to manage any access/communication with the children.
Does this mean we will have to have another social services assessment?
Or, will they not do the assesment because I will be telling them that my children have made it clear they want nothing to do with my ex?
Logic would dictate that no access to the children means no assessment but I'm unsure how it works
To clarify, My ex will not be moving back home and will not have access to the children so I assume we won't need another assessment.
Can anyone advise, it's hard to find information on processes once sentencing is done
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I would think that they would make contact with you and then close straight away once you tell them that the children have decided that they do not want contact. My older children have never been subject to any plans as they were no contact. All paperwork etc doesn't include them, only our child (my youngest) who has contact.
I hope this puts your mind at ease xxx

Since all the knock at my exa door back last jun, social services have been involved with me on since this jul and we have never loved together, nor have we ever intended on living together. Yet we are on a child in need plan and I have to see ss every 2 weeks. So I think it may differ between where you live or the situation maybe. My LG is 8 months old so she also doesn't have a voice to say her opinions so obviously my situation is different but I still don't understand why we sre harassed by ss when there is no contact via him, me or her. So as I said I reckon it depends on your local ss. But I did just want to say I hope you get answers, as I hate being in limbo land. X
I agree with Distressed in that SS will make contact with you but will close the case when they know there will be no contact with your children.
I hope you and your children are doing ok and that you are able to begin moving forward with your lives.
