Child in need plan.
Posted: Wed Apr 27, 2022 4:09 pm
Hi,
I am currently in a relationship that has come under the assessment of children's services owing to allegations made during my previous relationship.
Brief history.
1. family member accused me of a sexual assault.
2. police investigation proceeds.
3. children's services become involved and prevent me seeing my children whilst their assessment takes place.
4. children's service conclude assessment allowing for supervised direct contact with my children for as long as I remain out of the family home.
5. police investigation concludes with NFA owing to inconsistent account of the witness and no evidence.
6. I make a Child Arrangements Order application to improve the contact with my children.
7. Children's mother and I divorce.
8. New relationship starts with current partner. Current partner has known me for over 6 years and is fully aware of history.
8. Fact finding sought.
9. Judge rules that allegations are found proven.
10. Application to appeal.
11. Cafcass inform children's services of judgement.
12. Children's services speak to my current partner, asking if they are aware of allegations and that they will need to do an assessment.
13. Partner has agreed to not allow any direct or indirect contact with her own children whilst assessment takes place.
We are trying to work with children's services to find a solution to moving forward, but the general feel is that they want us to terminate our relationship of 1 year. They have threatened my partner with disclosing details of allegations, including judgements from the CAO, with my current partner's children's father. I know I have not done anything wrong, and am willing to challenge any allegations with fact, but in terms of my current relationship, was is the advice with dealing with children's services. What capacity have they to disclose any information that is currently under confidentiality orders of the family court, and in relation to the right to anonymity for the people involved with the allegation. How do I move forward?
Kind Regards
