Need advice on care order discharge

[1104042004xllx]

Hi my to girls when put on a care order and now in foster care I really want to get them home they where removed in Oct 18 and care order was made in Feb 19 had a pep meeting yesterday and met the new social worker and she said they wont be coming home am gutted iv done so much to change my life around mainly my problem was drinking and DV am seeing my solicitor on 15th July this month about advise about discharging care order but am starting to lose all hope now she has said that its killing me :(

In a highly stressful environment it is very possible that a comment has not been communicated effectively. The Pep meeting was obviously focussed on education matters rather than long term future.plans. I suggest you look to arrange a specific meeting to discuss your concerns and look to clarify everything. When is the next LAC meeting ? this is the usual meeting where short and long term plans are discussed and you can hear what all parties have to say and ask the person chairing the meeting any questions.

Hi its middle of next month the lac review i just dont understand why the social worker would say that it's like she wants me to lose hope and fail and now its stuck in my head iv been signed off Shropshire recovery services and done 6months of groups and iv even got a job now am working so hard to win my kids back thanks for reply :)

Morning 1104042004xllx,

I'm a foster carer who passionately believes that children should stay with parents where possible so wish you well in your quest to get your children home. I totally agree with f0stercarer that it's a stressful time and you may not have heard what the social worker meant. You've done really well to turn your life around so far. If I were in your position I would try and arrange a meeting between you, the social worker and maybe the children's IRO to discuss long term plans, before the LAC review, and see if you can get an up to date list of what you'd need to do/prove to get them home again.

Thank u I will try and do that it's just social worker said also u do know this is a permanent placement till the children are 18 but I dont see why we cant have them home if all the issues to why they where taken arnt there anymore obviously I no they expect to see sustained change for period of time but really got to me her saying that but looking forward to seeing my solicitor on 15th so get more advice:)

Solicitor is telling me let's get ball rolling in January
But social services say it's not long anuf and saying about a special gardenship order instead so confused I just want them back home the girl have also told social worker the want to come home

Did they go to family ? As generally that's what a special
Guardianship would be our in place for ?
