My former partner was sentenced recently for a non contact offence involving online images.

They moved out of the home upon arrest and our children (both under 18) want nothing to do with them.

My question is, did anyone receive a call or email from social services in the weeks after sentencing?

My understanding is that when my former partner is released, I will be contacted by social services to discuss any contact between former partner and children, and as there won't be any contact, it is likely social won't do an assessment.

However, I am unsure if I should expect a call or email post sentencing, and if so what the call or email might entail?

We are over a month after sentencing and I've heard nothing.

Can anyone shed any light?



Thanks in advance
