Should I be concerned?

An incident took place last Tuesday involving my children's dad. Please refer to my previous thread as this is about something else.
I have just had a phone call from the health visitor, asking if she can come and visit my children tomorrow, are they still working during the covid19 pandemic or is this something more to do with coming to check the kids are healthy and safe in regards to their dad being arrested for dismantling stolen motor vehicles. I'm so worried

Yes it's more than likely been flagged up, if your children are safe and healthy then you've nothing to worry about x

Great, thanks for the reassurance the children are perfectly healthy so at least I haven't got to worry x

The HV will have to make a visit to check the welfare of your DC because of what's happened - it's standard safeguarding. It's not just physical health but emotional, too; your family have been through a huge amount of upheaval and stress and even if the DC are physically well, that stress will be felt by them.

Be upfront and honest with the HV about what's happened, and try not to be anxious about it; they're visiting to ensure your DC are fine, not to catch you out or cause trouble.
