Maybe positive?

Had social worker come out today to talk about the potential of my person moving home. Although she can not promise the outcome she seemed really positive that I could keep my child safe. I've given ways I can keep her safe at night, if I need a shower, toilet etc, I had answers for every thing. Just a waiting game now to see if they agree to supervised at home or not. She did however state that regardless the whole situation would trigger a CIN plan, which I'm not happy about as it's been a good few years since the first came out after the knock but if it means doing that for a few months then so be it.

I feel like there's a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnels although I fear we are still a long way off!

Hi,

that does sound positive. It doesn't necessarily trigger a child in need plan. Once I had given my safety plan for a phased return and gradual move to unsupervised contact the social worker was involved for two weeks and that was one face to face and the rest via email.
My safety plan includes meeting with the school safeguarding lead every four weeks which is more than on a cin plan would do xxx

Hi, thanks for your reply, could I ask what your safety plan included please if you don't mind?

I'm thinking of writing one myself rather than waiting on SS to do one, at least I'm prepared.

She's asked me to call her in 2 weeks once she's made a decision.

You can message me too! I am messaging distressed about this at the moment.



We started our CIN plan to get hubby home today. Social workers visited and they were so lovely. We have a plan now for the next six weeks and hopefully he will be back at the end.



Our case is a little different to others as our case was actually closed two years ago and we were told he could move in etc now I'm pregnant, it's triggered involvement again and it turns out that they never completed the correct paper work for it!! So we've been living two years as normal un known to them (no fault of ours).



However, we are still having to follow a CIN process now to do everything official.

3rd social worker we have dealt with in the past 3 weeks, text today "can I come tomorrow to discuss support" support for what? Nobody has contacted me since the last one came around to discuss things with me so I'm clueless once again, and once again being passed around

The world of SS is just that - they plant a little seed in your head, don't explain things and leave you in limbo. Just make sure you ask for an explanation on anything you don't understand xx

Turns out original social worker that said we would have a decision was from child protection, they've decided we don't need that and downgraded to child in need which has triggered this new social worker. So we are back to the beginning, cant really do anything until schools are back because I need to do meetings with the school again, then wait for a family group conference which I absolutely hate! I find them worse than SS

Consider yourself lucky to be a CIN level- trust me. Can I ask what your OH did?

I'm interested in how different authorities deal with cases. I'm at PLO for a conversation he got involved in with a police decoy. No images involved and not been given a SOR or SHPO xx

Wow seems extreme :/

Mine downloaded images across 3 categories, 8 in total, there were more but it was proved by a specialist that they were never searched and downloaded for that reason, they were hidden files in game downloads. We have Sor and shpo but only restrictions are not to delete internet history
