Hi,



Knock came in August 2024. We have two kids. I have chosen to stay to get us through this together as a family. Husband has been through a Csafe assessment and been rated medium risk. Bail ended 3 months after arrest and devices are still being investigated. The kids are on a CIN plan. I have also attended a csafe course where a safety plan was drawn. Our social worker has indicated that they might not remain involved until the legal outcome if all is going how it is but this was before we were told outcome of the CSafe assessment for husband. (Kids are doing well, and school have no concerns). I had a few questions and wondered if someone could help and share their experiences?

1. Has anyone had SS step away with the medium risk rating?

2. How long are safety plans valid for? Ours says about me carrying out all personal care. We have a 2 year old, does this mean I am going to never be able to step away from home as 2 year old isn't yet toilet trained and need help regularly. It's fine if that means the family stays together but also means that there's no chance of self care for the protective parent.

3. Do safety plans stay in place even if SS have closed the case?

Many thanks

Hi,

my partner is medium risk and ss closed our case with my supervising. He doesn't live with us at the moment.



Safety plans are valid until something requires changes. We're on our second safety plan and will likely have another one when we look to move back in together.

Once the legal process is completed for your oh ss will likely be involved again probably in the form of a phone call and you can ask about making changes to the safety plan. I'm planning to ask for it to be my decision when and how to allow unsupervised. I completely hear you on the burn out felt as the protective parent, our daughter is three but I'm not ready to allow unsupervised within the home but would be willing to consider him taking her to the local shop or similar things initially. Personal care isn't something I'm willing to allow probably ever so I guess I'll have to live with the burn out xxx
