Social worker home visit

5 replies

I received a home visit and all findings are positive and case closed. However on the report a lot of my ex partners opinions and feelings have been written which I disagree with. I feel he has used this as a platform to put his feelings onto as well as in family court. Some of the things he has said are false but also trying to point the blame at others. Including my new partner. I want to address this with the social worker as I feel this should be more about my home visit and my children, not about what he says.

He's entitled to his feelings and opinions, regardless of whether you agree with them. I expect he disagrees with some of yours too.

Focus on the positive report and the fact that the case was closed.

I disagree with the PP. if I were in your shoes I would talk to social services and ask them why he’s opinions and views were included. And ask if your views can also be included. I take it from your post that this is going to family court? Whilst he is entitled to his views and opinions - if they are included in a report then it’s only fair you are heard too.

Social services assessments need to include the opinions of the different people involved, it doesn't mean that they agree with it. If anything, if they've closed it and say, he makes a malicious referral in future it will help them to know that it might be malicious, or that he's unreliable in what he says.

Yes it is in family court and he already stated some of these ridiculous statements in family court which I have defended. Now I feel I am going to have to defend again.

If it helps, my take on it is they put his opinions in to show why the concern was raised. They found no cause to take things further therefore when/if he makes further false allegations you will easily be able to show a pattern of dalse allegations. Also in family court, you now have evidence from a non bias third party agreeing with you and disagreeing with ex. So when he raises the same stuff in court it is completely unfounded, no evidence and SS didn't agree with him, the judhe shouldn't take it into consideration.
Sorry you're going through this, I'm not long finished with family court, cafcass, false allegations to police and SS. It is challenging.
