**UPDATE**
Well the SW did come to visit. There are no issues whatsoever!!!
The Safety plan has changed again by name and is now called a Family Plan.
After a meeting to finalise the plan and also taking our daughter off Child in Need, it is definitely apparent that the local police force have not spoken to the alleged person. I (20/2) have escalated my concerns to the Chief Constable who has returned my text message "I will see where we are with the case" I am still awaiting an update.
I am also in the process of complaining to Local Social Services.

Re: Having Issues with Social Services update!!
Hello
I thought I should put an update with the hope i can get some further help.
Since my last post I have filed an official complaint at stage 1 with my local Children's Services
My complaint was
The lack of safeguarding, protection for my daughter. I put safeguarding in place, not Child services, yet this was never minuted in the minutes, and I am left with the feeling with all the negativity instead of the rewards of protecting my child.
Risk factors – doesn’t matter how big or small - there is a risk.
Child and Family Assessment report and the opinion of the Social Worker at that time.
Failure to inform Adult Social Services with regards to the allegations and the lack of urgency to inform the employer(s)
Feeling ganged upon by the social worker.
Feeling that the social workers were siding with the mother and the alleged abuse. On these matters I felt I wasn’t being heard, and no matter what/how the mother was always in the right. (Yes its ok to walk away from your child and live with the alleged abuser, we will support you!)
What can Child services do? Contact, safety etc
Safety Plans, how many times does it need to have its title changed? Family plan, safety plan
The result of this complaint was "I therefore uphold your complaint and I am sorry that we did not get it quite right this time. I have explored what you wanted to achieve. I am sorry that the assessment is not balanced and impartial however I believe that we did still follow correct procedure and I wanted to reassure you of that, albeit we could have worked more quickly."
