Hello
I'm new to mumsnet but have heard amazing things about this website and the advice people give out.
I have 2 gorgeous children who are currently under a care order by CS and are being cared for by there paternal grandmother. They were before cared for by a foster carer who was assigned the children by CS however as we wanted the children to stay with family and had the support from them that they would help they were moved into a family environment.
However since the children have moved paternal grandmother has turned sour towards us and no longer agrees to let us see the children out of our contact times set by the LA.
We have contact 3 times a week for 2 hours given to us by the LA and savour every minute of it.
We have had parenting assessments done and are due to hear weather positive or negative tomorrow, (as social worker is thick and has had to re do them because she is a nightmare, to which has prolonged our court hearings as we were meant to have our final hearing at the start of December last year)
Is there any advice as to what we can do to get maternal grandmother to let us see the children? We have good communication and seem to be the only ones making the effort.
Also any advice in what to expect from parenting assessments and how to move things forward more quickly?
And last but not least does anyone know how I can find Parenting courses near me (West Midlands) have tried Google search but nothing clearly of who I can call to book myself into a course.
Advice very very much appreciated!!!
