Hi there!
i am completely new to mumsnet and am hoping that you are able to help me with any advice/experience you may have??
Il start at the beginning....there has always been a sw involved with my niece and up until now they have been satisfied that she is being cared for adaquately.
unfortunately the last few weeks have proven otherwise and i have spent so many sleepless nights worrying about my niece whilst trying to keep the peace to ensure my access to her. i made myself known to ss quite early to let them know who i was should she ever be taken into care as i would be more than willing to have her.
last week i received a phonecall which confirmed my fears
the sw explained that they need to seek different living arrangements for my niece as they have made an application to the court.
i have been contacted by the same sw today who wants to conduct a viability test asap! i have made an appointment for later this week and have tried researching on the internet but not really finding much useful. (prob looking in the wrong places!)
what can i expect from a viability test??
more importantly what will happen to my niece if the court case goes ahead before the viability test?? will she be taken into care temporarily?
i have tried to encourage my nieces mum to hand over legal responsibility to me but failed!
any help would be greatly appreciated at this very worrying and uncertain time
