Would a dad ever be allowed unsupervised contact with his own children after sentencing. If they got a suspended sentence. Sor shopo etc? What would be the process regarding contact. Would it always be supervised?

Hi,

my partner was sentenced 4 years ago-community order for 3 years, SOR and SHPO for 5 years. We are now moving towards gradual unsupervised contact with our 4 year old daughter which has been approved by ss.

We have done a lot of work to get to this point, courses to understand the triggers of offending, for him to take accountability and focus on living a better life, for me to spot the signs of offending and also the signs of abuse in children. Ss have been happy to be led by myself as her mother and I have also worked with the school safeguarding lead to ensure that there are eyes on our daughter throughout the transition process. I keep them updated of any upcoming changes and any conversations I have with our daughter about privacy, pants work etc xxx
