Hi I have had my contact reduced from weekly to fortnightly as I'm destabilising their placement with their father. My feeling this is destabilising anyway. I'm not happy with the decision, I'm not sure how the girls are feeling with this. I would be interested how to work towards unsupervised conta...

I went to Lac review yesterday, my contact has been reduced to fortnightly from weekly. My weekly contact apparently destabilising the placement with dad. It was recognised that my contact was mainly positive with the girls. It was how many times a week they were out of the house which was 4 evening...

Hi I understand exactly how you feel, I still seeing my girls weekly at the moment. I know the social worker is looking to reduce it, I don't know how at the moment.

Hi

Thanks for responding,no date for contact or lac review. This is making my daughters and myself unhappy. The children's father is trying to control the contact and transporting the girls to contact. He appears to be succeeding.

A few weeks ago, I had a contact review about my girls. I knew before I went into this that the local authority were trying to reduce my contact.

Hi I'm looking to get the care order discharged,the earliest that can be done is January.

What reasons are they giving for not returning him,wh...
