Basically looking for some advice , there’s been an incident with my child’s father and his current partner they have a baby together my child is the oldest at 16 months old . My child only sees his dad maybe twice a month and it’s always supervised at his parents anyway.
but basically today he has called me to say social services have asked about my child and his contact with him and he thinks they want to speak to me . If they do what will happen? Will my child need to go on some sort of plan even though his contact is already supervised or will they just ask me questions. My child never goes to his home or out with him only ever goes to his parents and I’m also there every time.

This depends entirely on what has happened? They will want to try and establish whether your child is safe and whether you can adequately protect them

Apparently there’s been a bruise on her at a midwife appointment and they are saying it’s him.

I think there's likely to be far more to it than that unfortunately. Tell social services the truth if they do speak to you. Explain he only has supervised visits. It will be fine from your end.

Surely there is more to it, why do they assume a bruise on the baby could be just from him? Does he have a track record?

Yes iv said the same to him I said I don’t think your telling me the full truth here. He was never violent to me never has been. I do know that his current partner is trouble though and she wouldn’t allow him to be in my child’s life for a long period of time. Hence why my son doesn’t go there and we agreed on contact at his parents house . I can only tell my side I just obviously don’t want my son to be involved with social services when he isn’t in any danger nor would I ever allow him to be

I’m not sure. Not as far as I’m aware but I don’t know what goes on in his life iv only been told what him and his parent have told me. He’s never been abusive to me or my child we argued but never any violence

No there’s a bruise on his partner not the baby
