Parent assessment
Notifications OFF
This is my first post..... I am one year post knock and am after some advice. I have a 4 year old son and so obviously SS are involved. Currently on a CP plan and as such I have to have a parent assessment with LFF to assess whether I am protective. Is there anyone on here that has had to do this that could tell me what to expect? I'm very nervous in case it comes back that I am not protective (even though I am) Thanks in advance
Hi, I've had a horrible time with social services, my advice would be to be extremely careful what you say to them, even when you are not being formally assessed and to have someone with you for support, an advocate if possible. Good luck.
Hi! I'm not sure if you can help me, my partner of 6 months suffers with intrusive thoughts and OCD. He's engaging with the mental health team and we've recent had SS heavily involved. We're awaiting a child protection conference. I have 3 children (none of which are his biologically) iv chosen to support him from afar under SS advice. I'm worried i will loose my children if i don't make the decision to walk away from my partner. Has anybody been in this situation and could shed some light about possible outcomes of this conference. Is there a high possibility my children will be taken from my care? Thanks in advanced for any help or advice.
Hi Lee 1969, thanks for your reply. No my partner hasn't been arrested or has any history regarding acting on these thoughts. But has tried to 'test' himself but keeping his hand on my son longer than heeded. I feel like I'm being naive and he's indenial. I fear I'm letting my feelings for him cloud my judgment. I feel so lost and alone ????
