Hand hold and advice please

This morning my ex partner was arrested for domestic assault on me. The only witness was our almost 2 year old daughter.
The police mentioned social services involvement but my brain feels like goo and I can’t think straight. What will happen please ?

Well done for him being your ex.
social services will be involved to e sure you’re safeguarding your daughter from witnessing or experiencing domestic abuse. If he stays your ex and you protect her from him, you needn’t worry.
I hope you’re ok.

Also glad he's your ex. If you haven't spoken to Women's Aid they might be helpful. I can also recommend Ring doorbells and cameras. Sending hugs

Police automatically inform social services where a rime is committed and there is a child in the house. In addition, witnessing domestic violence is considered emotional abuse of the child. Social services will want to see you can protect your child by keeping away from this abusive bastard. Well done on calling the police, that was really brave, and absolutely the right thing to do.

Police have a duty to inform SS because there in a young child in your care and therefore involved in this situation. You should have nothing to worry about provided you stay well away from him, and do not go back from him. If you do, SS may consider putting safeguarding procedures in place.

Make the right choice OP. So sorry this has happened to you.

Thank you so much for your replies. It’s so helpful. I have always read stories like this on here and now I am living one.
I had originally decided to not press charges, but I’ve found out that almost everything he ever said was a lie and I don’t feel safe, so I’ve changed my mind.
