Hi, I was in a similar situation and CS became involved with my family in 2008 and I was finally signed off in 2014, CS will expect you to attend courses accept the risk posed and of course protect your children from any future harm.

Hi Poppy,
I would give the helpline a ring they are open until 3pm I think. Suzie will be along shortly to address your queries but if you are worried about the meeting on Tues I would ring.

Qwerty,
