Supervised contact
Notifications OFF
Does anyone happen to know how many family members can be cleared to supervise contact if I am unable too? .. I am due my baby in 6 weeks but due too medical reasons he'll be coming in 3 or 4 maximum. I'll be having g a csection and annoyingly my parents (my only support) are going to be on holiday at that time. My partners mum has said that me and the children can go and stay with her for as long as we need which obviously is going to be a massive help otherwise but we was wondering if they will allow his mum to supervise contact, that way my partner won't have to wait for his sister (who is currently the only person able to supervise) his mum already has a dbs and things I just wasn't sure if they would allow more than one person?
Also his mum actually happens to live an hour away from me. But as I said it's either that or ill be on my own and having his mum at my house really isn't an option. Will they be OK with me staying else where?

Hey hun to be honest if they have done dbs check and it's come out fine there should not be a problem of her superving contact as long as she is aware of the risks that he could pose to the kids that should be fine my mum and dad can also supervise contact now I can as well hope you are ok .
My son has no restrictions on how many people can supervise contact between him and his children. The only criteria he has been given is that the supervisors must be aware of his charges and restrictions.
Would he be able to sleep at the house as well just downstairs or in a different room or would that be a no? I'll be staying there either way I just didn't want to push my luck and ask if they'll say absolutely not?
To be honest I would not push my luck let them do assessment first you don't want them to turn around and say you are not understanding the risk that he can be I would wait till they do all the assessments. How is the new socail Woker . Is he allowed at birth .
I wouldn't push your luck I really don't think he will be allowed to sleep in another room social services we'll see if as your not understanding the full risk eg he could do something while your in the bathroom or in bed asleep not that as saying they would be that's what they would say.
Yeah I don't think I'll push it then. I just thought they might allow him to stay downstairs especially as there will be another 3 adults in the house upstairs. I did think it would be pushing my luck a bit by asking.
I agree with others about not pushing your luck. However, if you did want to test the water you could explain that your baby would never be left alone and that your person would have no opportunities for any unsupervised contact day or night as baby will be sleeping in the same room as you at night.
I'm seeing her tomorrow, so ill see how brave I'm feeling. I'll probably chicken out to be fair incase it makes everything worse haha. I'm torn, part of me is saying all she can say is no amd obviously ill listen but then the other half of me is telling me if I ask then they'll probably take my children off of me and I'll loose them forever. (Evem though that's mot been mentioned) . It's just a crazy thought process haha.
