Is supervised visits off me or a family member of mine still safe guarding f?

[Questionqueen]

I stopped my abusive ex from our son for obvious reasons... HES ABUSIVE!
He's reached out to my brother asking if my brother could have my son at his house while he pops round to visit. I DO NOT TRUST THIS "man" AS FAR AS I CAN THROW HIM SO WILL NOT BE HAPPENING!!!!

However, if this ever were to happen with me in the house would it be safeguarding my child still or not? I am absolutely hoping I cannot do this because I do not want him anywhere near my son!

Can you afford to see a solicitor?

How old is the baby? That's more important

Social worker here, you are 100% within your rights to refuse contact with your child's father given the abuse you are reporting you and your son have experienced. Based on what you have shared you should exercise your parental responsibility and not allow him contact with your child. Your ex can always exercise his PR and go to court to seek a child arrangements order for contact. Given the level of risk as detailed by you it would be likely (if he ever did bother doing this) that he would be only awarded supervised contact in contact centre with expectation he funds this. If you haven't already you should report the abuse you experienced to the police, even if they don't progress it at this point they will have it on record and it will support you if he does make any applications to court.

He wouldn’t be taking YOU to court….he would be going to family court to request access to his child

So I assume that the police arrested him and he’s been told he cannot come near either you or the baby?

He sounds disgusting, well done for getting away from op and keeping yourself and your child safe.

Criminal court system is not the same as family law. If he has PR he has rights, and can apply to the court to force your hand. Whether or not they will grant access is up to them based on the evidence provided to them. Get a good solicitor; you’re going to need one

It doesn't really matter how long his criminal record is

It's the right of the child to have a relationship with him which the court will look at and assess using cafcass

Did you even go to the police to report?
