to expect social services after 6 year old burnt foot on cooker? Feel horrendous

[Soscared100]

Title says it all really
Am petrified social services will now be involved after google searching what happens next
My 6 year old climbed onto the kitchen side last night and stood on one of the electric hobs.
It had been turned off for approx 10 mins as was making her milk for bed and she went out there saying she was getting a cup off the side, instead she climbed up to get a different cup from the cupboard.
After an hour running under water it was only red so we followed the advice on the NHS website and applied Vaseline once completely cooled and wrapped in cling film and gave calpol but shortly after I noticed the blister covered 1/3 of her foot.
I feel sick even writing it as I just never thought she would do this, she isn't even a climber and we only took our baby gates off the kitchen a few months ago as she could undo them.
Called NHS direct once I noticed the size of the blister when she had fallen asleep and I was able to remove the cling film and we were told to go to A&E who cut the blister off, wrapped it and sent us to the burns hospital 20 miles away.
Only recently back from there and will be there every 3 days for as many weeks to get the dressing changed and so on.
Feel so guilty and also completely panicked social services will now be involved as I could have prevented this happening.
There were lots of safeguarding questions at both hospitals and both asking if we had social services involved prior to this ( we haven't ) but none said they were going to contact them but just don't know what to think.
My poor little girl.

Really, we don't.

Ok I was told you do, by a social worker, maybe different managers operate differently.

That's awful if true

Parents do need to be careful because Spero, a very experienced family law barrister and MN'r has just confirmed that things seem to have got quite bad in child protection. She says " the focus is on removal rather than support"

Its not a conspiracy theory. They are trained to manipulate people to get information from you. They will pretend to be friendly with you to get you to tell them things. Then they will write it down and twist it to use against you.

If it was an accident then no need to worry about SS - just tell it as it is.

Just want to add there has been no mention of SS from anyone so I don't think they will become involved.
From what I've read and spoken to friends / neighbours that are medical professionals, they inform you if they are to make a referral.
Health visitors and school nurses will receive a copy of the a&e report so then may contact us if they wish but that's all x

That's bullshit Pseudonym99

restless I could have sworn I saw you on a thread comprised mainly of discussion surrounding the transparency projects FOI's confirming that yes they do indeed operate with targets

I honestly don't think this is the thread for this discussion... The op is worried enough

Its not bullshit. They pretend to be on your side to get you to drop yourself in it.

No they don't, Pseudonym. That's offensive. My dad worked for 30 years in social services HELPING PEOPLE. Keep your bonkers conspiracy theories to yourself, thanks.

NeedasockAmnesty I was on that thread, but arguing that targets don't exist. In all my years I have never been 'trained to get information out of people', I've never been given a target to hit (apart from ensuring my recording is up to date) and certainly never been made to deceive anyone.

Hang on, you may have seen me make a sarcastic comment about being on commission. (Another honkers conspiracy theory)

My son put his hand on the electric job when he was 3. It was awful. Just a horrible accident. He was treated at A&E and I got a letter saying the HV would visit, but when I rang to rearrange the appt as I would be at work, she was happy with a quick check on the phone.

How long did that letter take to come if you don't mind me asking?

I was trained to get information out of people, by being trustworthy,by being supportive, by listening,by asking the right questions.

Keeping accurate records is an extension of that.

There are targets to respond within certain time frames for pretty much everything, there are targets to provide accurate notes within a reasonable time. Not all targets are a bad thing, it's daft to say they do not exist.

Most of them exist to help families.

That's just about what I said Needasockamnesty!

Accidents happen. I crawled from the sofa to the fire and shoved my hand through the fire guard and burnt all 4 of my fingers so badly the tips had to be amputated, all in the space of time it took for my mum to go to the kitchen to put my bottle on to warm up. It was one accident, that doesn't make you a bad parent it just makes you human.

I think it was about a fortnight, from memory. It was a few years ago now.

Rhiwrites, how do you know your dad was helping people? Were you at work with him every day?

It's offensive to call people conspiracy theorists just because they have a different opinion to yours

This isn't the thread for those type if opinions though is it really.
Op was very worried it's a shitty thing to do to get her more stressed out when she has nothing to worry about.

Maybe it's kinder to be informative rather than just hand-hold. I know which I would rather have in this situation, Christmas or not.

But you're not being informative, your being accusatory and scaremongering.
