Hi,

so yesterday my child’s dad was reported to the police by the public for concern he was drunk walking home with her. We’d had a couple of drinks at a bbq and the police came round and took his and my details. They’ve said that they are going to forward it onto social services but the police didn’t take it any further just said it was illegal to be drunk with a child and that someone needs to be sober. I had had a drink but was more than capable to look after her and I would of never let him take her to the shop if I thought he was unable to look after her. I guess I’m just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation and whether social services came and visited and what happened if they did and what they’ll do.

Probably nothing will happen. If the police didn't take it further (drunk in charge of a child, child neglect) they believed there was no immediate risk involved at the time.

They will forward a report to social services which will probably be just filed. It will only really come in to play if its needed to build a bigger picture. For example, if the police are continually called to your house for the same issue.
