Court supervision order

Court granted supervision order on my child to the local authority. In court my legal told me that this was going to be a meeting around the table with different bodies/professionals for the interest of my child. Meetings taken place online with others also having regular home visits. I checked on the court order can't see where it mentioned that there should be a home visits. The person who is doing the visits keeps saying that if everything continues the way it is meaning them coming to my house regularly then the order will end with no hassle, to this I feel bullied as i checked on the court order and can't see where it says that they should be a home visits on top of the monthly meeting with other body/ professionals. Can any one guide me where i can find info regarding supervision order and or advise me. I don't have a rep anymore as this ended after court case. Thanks

*A Supervision Order may require the supervised child to comply with directions given by the superviser to do things such as:

  • To live at a place or places specified in the directions for a period or periods so specified;
  • To present himself to a person or persons specified in the directions at a place or places and on a day or days so specified;
  • To participate in activities specified in the directions on a day or days so specified.*
I think the second point covers them for home visits. https://childlawadvice.org.uk/information-pages/supervision-orders/ I don't know to what degree the specifics need to be defined on the written order or if they can make choices within a broader range of options.

If you've got to the point of care proceedings and a supervision order then you've been having social work visits for some time. The fact that it's got to court means the visits before that point didn't make enough difference to your child's safety. Why would you think that visits would now stop as there is a supervision order in place? The order is literally for the local authority to 'supervise' - it's in the name. The local authority is obliged to offer 'advise and support' under the order which obviously includes visiting the child.
