We recently received a letter from our local children's centre saying they'd made an appointment for a family support worker to come and see us yesterday following the arrival of DS.
We emailed on Monday morning and asked them not to come as we didn't feel the need for a family support worker and we were managing quite well but thanks for the offer.
I came home yesterday to a card through the door saying that they'd come round and found me out.
AIBU to think that they should have listened when we said we didn't want the appointment and that they shouldn't have made the appointment in the first place without finding out whether we'd like one? A letter introducing themselves and inviting us to contact them if we'd like any help or support would surely have been far more economical and actually filtered out the peope like us who were quite happy without their services. Surely it costs quite a bit in terms of public money for two members of staff to perform a home visit?
