Finding work amognst the chaos or in the future

[MUM2019]

My son is now being placed into a interim SGO placement for the next 4-6 months as myself and my partner await psychological assessments and parenting assessments. Our judgement of our sons injury was accidental which is so positive but then we've had the bomb shell of waiting another 4-6 months for an IRH hopefully after positive assessments he can finally come home.

In the meantime i'm wanting to look for work after being a care assistant for adults before having my son and now i'm a pre student nurse looking for either voluntary work or part time work to support my studies before I go back to my access course in September and to keep myself busy and distracted from proceedings continuously. My dream job is to be a children's dermatology nurse but i'm worried my son's case is going to jeaopradise that in the future and plans for university in the future.

Do cases with Social Services affect people looking for employment or applying to university especially concerning working with children. Would this be visible on a DBS check that we were involved in a pending investigation obviously nobody has been convicted of any charges so I would presume not. Do social services have the right to inform employers working with children that you've previously been involved with social services or can employers find this out ? I have nothing to hide I would be open and honest with my employer/university of the events that have happened if they were explored, I just want to provide my son with the best future I can for him and for him to be proud of his mummy.
