Chair of a CPC
Notifications OFF
We are due our initial child protection conference this week and It doesn't matter how much I Google it I just can't seem to fathom how this meeting works or what will happen.
I'm hoping that they will at the very least allow me to supervise contact between my partner and our daughter whilst my older children are at their biological dads house. His probation worker has said that it could happen but my social worker seems pretty adamant to just not let anything change and it's really stressing me out. Is there a chance that even if the social worker says no that the chair will agree it or is it what the social worker says goes? She has told both me and my partner he poses very low risk to his own children, his probation officer also said the same but when I mention supervising contact between him and our daughter at the moment it has to be done through my mum and she works as well as my partner and they both seem to be working different days/times as well as the fact he's having to live 2 hours away from us so he's not seeing our daughter much at all. I just don't know if I'm expecting too much.
