Ok so long story short ex partner at this present time doesn't have access to see he's child. He's a functioning alcoholic and has put he's safety at risk on many occasions the last being driving him home to me drunk. He has a new partner who from what I've been told by mutual acquaintances is very similar to my ex and from story's my son has repeated. Anyway she has contacted me a few times now trying to row and everytime I've either ignored her messages or said i have no idea why she is contacting me and to go away. Tonight she has contacted me threatening her position as a duty facilitator to the ss to use this against myself with my children. I've never had social services involvement there has been no need I've always put my children first. Can she do this? She is saying i have got 7 deliverys sent to her house tonight. I'm assuming she means take aways but 1 i have no clue where she lives i know what town they live in (not the same one as me) but that's it and 2 I'm not a teenager. Can she really threaten using her position against me? And if i was going to report it who would i report it to? It just doesn't seem fair I'm trying to take the moral high ground and ignore them yet things are just getting worse. Her messages the other day were of how she worries for my mental state and alot of talking down to me. There's nothing wrong with my mental state, my ex used to use that when we was together he would get drunk and hit me and then the next day say I'd made it up I'm mad. I've blocked both their numbers from contacting my phone but tonight she has used social media which i have now blocked. Sorry for the rant lol any help would be greatly appreciated.

Molly if you work in that role can you tell the OP what it actually is?

I think that would be very useful and demystify the threat a lot.

It's not a job title that is often used in my experience, generally they are referred to as the Duty Team or Duty Social Worker. They are basically the first point of contact but more often than not pass on the work to other SW's.

I did find this job description being advertised under the role of 'Duty Facilitator'
