I haven’t heard anything back from her in two days. So I’m still none of the wiser. She read my text but didn’t ring or message back. How rude!! I couldn’t imagine how she would have reacted if that was the other way around when I’m was under them I have also got back in contact with my solicitor and she has told me to just carry on if I’ve heard nothing back by the end of the week as she doesn’t seem to think there’s much they can do with a NO further action Help????!!!!!
Thank you for your further post regarding the contact made with the social worker involved with your case.
Just to clarify, if the police decide to take no further action in respect of your partner, it does not mean that children's services will have no safeguarding concerns. In their view, the position would be that the police did not have enough evidence to bring a successful prosecution based on the criminal test of beyond reasonable doubt. However, children's services will view if from the point of view of the civil test which is on the balance of probability. Their concerns will remain and you should work with them to show that you are protective of your child and put their needs first.
I see from further posts that you have made that the social worker has been in touch and you are able to see your partner without your child and a risk assessment will be done.
Best wishes
