Got my child protection conference review on Thursday, received the report from the social worker today. I'm livid, it's full of assumptions, lies and allegations. Just want to curl up in a ball and cry, absolutely fed up with them. Just wanted a rant more than anything xxxx
My first conference review was like this. Everything was just assumptions or the social workers personal opinion. I had done everything they had ever asked, my partner left home when they told him too I was supervising nothing, was ringing them for help and advice on everything yet there report still Said "they didn't think I would follow the rules they'd put in place" but they had no reason to think that it was absolutely infuriating. I had many many more issues with my social worker. I have a new social worker now and she is amazing and really helps me and is actually working with us not against us. They may not like it but pull them up for the things they're wrong on. Not sure if you've ever heard of them but rhe family rights group is amazing at advice and what to do regarding social services reports!
They definitely don't like being told that they are wrong! My SW has washed her hands of this and said it's not her decision to keep the CPP in place it's management. I have no idea what to believe. I'm just so upset at what they have written xx
Have you considered getting an advocate?
Too late now, received an email from the Chair to say it's going to PLO. Devastated to say the least
Don't be devastated for going to PLO - as you will be given a legal aid cert to be able to chose a solicitor. Start looking into family law firms and having an initial consultation. Choose one now. Go for a firm who had dealth with your local authority before and pick someone experienced. If I remember correctly you had said SS would not fund risk assesments, they will within PLO framework.
Thanks Flower- Have you got experience of going to PLO? How did you find it, was it helpful? xx
I'm in proceedings, so yes we were once in PLO, I will drop some details privately.
