Hi I'm just needing a little advice. My husband and I were due to go to panel on Wednesday to be told whether we have been successful to foster. However today I received a phone call from our supervising social worker to say that Lincolnshire council have some information archived about me and we can no longer go to panel on Wed.
I've got bipolar and we lived in Lincolnshire for a few years when I was having a bad time but I don't know what it could be about.
I'm worried sick now and don't know what to do. Has this ever happened to anyone else or does anyone know what it could be and if it will affect me?
Thanks for listening xxx

So long as you disclosed your previous problems when doing your Form F then I would imagine they will just want to discuss the information the LA have come up with. So long as it's discussed and they're happy with your answer, and so long as your medical report comes back Ok then I would imagine they will put you forward for the next panel. I wouldn't worry too much. They have to tick all the boxes.

Dogfish, why will they not let you keep her ? They must have given you a reason ? Are you only approved for respite and emergency ?
