SS risk assessment
Notifications OFF
We are in the process of a SS risk assessment for unborn first child with less than a year remaining on SOR, considered low risk and VISOR repeatedly said will be no issue and maybe just a phone call from ss but we are now really worried.
We have had one initial meeting with social worker with another one planned in.Do we need to be offering them up sort of written protection plan and tell them how we intend to protect our child? We've been given no advice or understanding of what is expected. I don't want to offer something that maybe isn't necessary... But reading on here it's maybe something we should be doing ..
Are there any evidential reports to show them re-offending rates or things I can do to show how i/we plan to protect our child in the future.

What did they say in the initial meeting? Has the visor spoken to them? If not I'd get this happening asap as the visor is more of an expert on risk than SS and it should be a multi agency approach to managing it all.
I wouldn't offer a plan of stuff you'd rather not do as then you'll be tied to it. Have you told SS what you want to achieve?

They have spoken with VISOR/offender manager a d he fully supports us. We had an initial meeting and then a second where we discussed different topics like our childhood, current circumstances, the offense, baby and social worker has already said they will be reccomending an independent risk assessment for partner to determine his risk to our child and for a professional to determine any sex and age range risk (if that makes sence). We have welcomed this reccomendation as we are sure it will come back in our favour and from what I have seen on here when one comes back low risk there is not alot they can do? There has been no indication of what restrictions they might put in place but i think it's clear from what we have said that we expect limited restrictions..
We have individual calls next.... no idea what we will be asked in those and it's really daunting.
They haven't asked about what work has been done to ensure re-offending doesn't happen again... But we have ensured we have tried to demonstrate we have worked on this.They aren't aware of his counselling which he has been doing for a few years as his counsellor isn't aware of the offence so we aren't sure if we should mention it... there are no mental health issues but we are very pro-active rather then reactive and his counsellor said he could have stopped a while ago but we thought it was sensible to continue with this additional potential stress... SS haven't directly asked questions like this and I am worried they will look at it negativity and want information from the counsellor...

Hey
i know this response is late but honestly going through it right now. My partner is due to come of SOR July 2026. Our daughter was born in April and was removed from us under ico even though when we were on plo I proposed a safety plan and agreed to assessments on my ability to protect and what my partners risk level was. We were honest from the start and his MOSOVO worker said he wasn't concerned in the slightest and actually scored our first meeting as a 5 (there was other factors)
We only have proceedings because ss couldn't meet there own deadlines as we did everything in the plo agreements
