CAFCASS or social services would do a risk assessment.

How old are the kids? Why don't they want to sed him?

Cafcass would be involved and would make a recommendation about how much contact he gets and what sort (e.g. direct unsupervised contact, direct supervised (usually temporary with the aim that it will progress to unsupervised), or indirect (letters, cards etc)). The court tends to follow the cafcass recommendation. It is EXTREMELY rare for them to recommend no direct contact at all. Having said That, they did recommend no direct contact between my ex and kids. But my solicitor said that it was the first time she'd ever seen this in 25 years of practice.

Doesn’t say why the kids have said they don’t want to see him? Seems young ages to grasp the concept/full story on their own

Wobeytide Kids know their own mind from 7 or 8 yo and the op doesnt need to tell us the kids reasons why but cafcass will ask and check and hopefully that will be enough.

Who forces kids to see someone espescially in this situation where it would have to be supervised.

I'm sorry I don't know the answer but if you can afford legal advice I'd definitely take it.
