Me and my current partner (together 11 yrs) would love to foster next year, but reading about ex-partner checks is making me feel so uneasy. I gave birth to my first child when I was 14, his bio father being much older and sentenced to jail time/ added to the sex offenders register. I have had nothing to do with the man in 15yrs since a few solicitors letters and supervised visits which I stopped very early on.
I'd really appreciate any advice on whether our social worker would insist on getting in contact with him? He doesn't know where we live, where his son goes to school, or anything about us and I would like to keep it that way. He hasn't attempted to reach out either in all that time. The whole thing makes me feel ill.
