Another disappointing meeting with child services. 2 hours before appointment, they rescheduled the time and changed from in person to virtual. Sent link minutes before the meeting started (as in5) to incorrect email addresses for 2 of the attendees. Don't have an update, hadn't finished our assessment which was supposed to be completed last meeting. *sigh*. Got dads name wrong -again. Couldn't remember the location of the meeting and had to ask us, had no idea when our last assessment was due (had to remind them it had already happened and I was waiting on them). I get that they're busy but it's really frustrating when my capacity as a protective parent is thrown into question, simple decisions and plans are hanging on their decisions when they are so unprofessional and disorganised etc; unless it's all a test see if im listening and up for the challenge of keeping them right. I mean it's not like 7 people rearranged their day and took time off work to attend because they care about the child and will do anything to support but when does "engaging with social services" turn into them taking advantage. The haphazard carelessness would make you think they're organising a house viewing not children's safety!!!! I get they're busy but if we're high risk enough and serious for them to be involved, then surely they shouldn't give the impression that my child is not important enough to come prepared with facts and actions. Because that's what cancelling last minute, not bothering to get ANY details right and not appreciating other people's time and effort gives the impression of.
Rant over. Hope you all are having a less infuriating day!
