Social services have me terrified

Please help anyone. We are going through hell, I am terrified, cant sleep, cant eat. SS are investigating us under child protection. All started with us applying for home ed ( Scotland) then they were all over us. They're reason my mental health but all they speak about is home ed. We have dropped the home ed & enroled on another school because they told us the kids have to be at school but then they have a go at us for saying we are happy to see how the kids settle. They have found nothing wrong with the kids, our home, anyone else. But still they are taking it to case conference on a hypothetical "what if", but I have had problems all my adult life & never hurt anyone. All this is killing me inside. I am trying to stay strong but I am so scared. I feel myself getting increasingly depressed, I feel quite suicidal cos we have gone through two weeks of hell now but I cant tell anyone because they are watching me like, I cant give them anything to use against me. Cant take this much more, I love my kids so much

Bumping for you, sorry I've not got any real advise. I wonder if this would come under the disability discrimination act though, would it be worth speaking to Mind or Rethink for advice. I had a really negative reaction from my GP when discussing ttc and my CPN was furious and advised my to make a formal complaint.

Have you spoken to Schoolhouse? They would be a first port of call.

Then the Child Law Centre.

You could ask for the thread to be moved to the Home Ed section here on Mumsnet.

If everything is as you say, the case conference will be fine.
All professionals will meet, discuss, conclude it's fine and close.

What child protection issue did they find when investigating for home ed? Why did you want to home Ed?

Are you on the Home Ed Scotland Facebook Group?

Are you on the No 2 Named Person Facebook group?

Have you asked for Subject Access Request (SAR) from your LA and NHS?

I'm so sorry OP.
Do you think their concern is that you aren't well enough to home ed?

Have they gone through the report with you?
