Caution!

It could be that she is gearing up to take you to court.

If she can get evidence of DV, she becomes Legal Aid eligible.

Continue to work with SS. Think very carefully before phoning or messaging her as it could end up being used in court.

Good luck.

Wow. Just. Wow.

This is a dreadful situation. It looks like a genuine error by SS. I would wait to see the outcome of the S47 report and then work with them in an open and honest manner, which it would appear that you did before.

If it is just a Child In Need plan that is totally voluntary and you are under no obligation to deal with them. However, if we withdraw your consent, they could escalate matters to child protection. I was raised with domestic abuse and it is scary and distressing. Dropping the charges will not make ...

I have had no personal experience with this type of allegation, however I did read one post on here whereby a father who had a conviction was able to get contact back by complaining through the official channels and involving a solicitor, so it can be done.

My experience of SS is that there is a high staff turnover, workers leave all the time. SS are perfectly entitled to put a new worker on the case. You say that they "purposely" withheld the online invite when you do not know that it was on purpose. It could merely be an admin error. You st...
