Hi,

it might be a good starting point to request a meeting with his offender manager. Explain that you are looking at potentially building a relationship but you're concerned about the implications for your children. I would say that due to the ages of your girls that disclosure would be necessary for them to have the kind of contact that comes with you two having a normal relationship. You're right in terms of ss but I'd be hopeful that your current role and safeguarding knowledge would set you in good stead with them xxx
