Confused on Procedures
Posted: Sat Sep 15, 2018 1:05 am
Last September I was asked to leave the family home by 2 police officers and a SW. I then attended the police station for a voluntary interview which ended up with me receiving 4 cautions for Physically Abusing my children. Since then SS have instigated Child Protection Plans for each of my 7 children. I have attended every meeting I have been invited to and started my perpetrator course back in February. Contact has been hard as at first it was only when arranged by SS, then two if the kids schools started supervising the contacts but this was only short term and eventually we SS allowed us to use a friend to supervise the contact. The problem with this is my wife and I feel it is too much pressure for our friend to be the only person we have doing supervised contact. The SW did supervise 2 contacts before the summer but that has been it. Now after the latest Core Group I asked to speak to the SW with my wife present to arrange an appointment to try and sort the contact arrangements out only to be told by the SW that she had seeked permission from her manager and the Conference Chair to start legal proceedings as apparently we aren't moving forward enough.
How can they do this when I have complied with everything they have asked of me and my worker has stated that I am starting to change for the better thanks to my course? Is this their way of trying to get my wife and I to divorce? I must say that my wife has indicated to them that she wants me back in the home with the family. This whole situation is really getting to me now and I am too scared to go to the doctor about howlow I am getting as I feel they will put me on Anti-Depressants which I can't afford even though I am working.
