How many people have children in long term foster care or that have been adopted and have managed to get/keep a job that requires a DBS.
Any nurses lost / kept their jobs after having a care order granted.

It's just what the judge done in returning the youngest to his dad. Even though we are still in a relationship. Even the barister said it was to draconian given the case.

I am a registered nurse. Currently in care proceedings. It's a long story. My manager has always known about my issues with my son. I am still currently at work and my management are so supportive. Be honest and open about the situation.

Next thing she tells us we will be in court this week and they will be making an intrim care order for ...

Can i add that during this assessment I have been told I am intimidating. I admit I am outspoken but I don't think that should be used against me. I am a registered mental health nurse myself. I refuse to take antidepressants unless I feel to to low. And even then, just to get me over that feeling f...

I have 2 boys. A 6.5 year old and a 15 month old. I have struggled openly with my 6.5 year old since he was 2 and his first childminder could not longer manage him.
