Does anyone know if this would trigger a social services situation?

Single parent to an almost 3 year old.

I am on the brink of going off sick long term (ie more than three months) due to stress/anxiety etc

I am really worried this will trigger the gp to alert social services as it will raise concerns as to whether my child is ok being looked after just by me? I have sick pay so child will still be in nursery as normal.

No.

Social services only become involved if a child is at risk of neglect or harm.

However if you need support or help with your situation you can ask.

They are not the parenting police. They are they to support
