Appealing a fact finding result

[philosowatzit]

Dear all, I still have questions regarding my case, and thought maybe a separate thread clarify each question.

I accept that I 'shot myself in the foot' for not attending a fact find, there were 'extenuating circumstances' but I have been given permission to appeal that decision. The question is should I? Would it go against me personally? and if so, for what reason? Bearing in mind I would like it re-heard for my children's best interests to be served by the courts, and not because I wish to delay any proceedings, or to be 'vexatious'. My children will be at risk otherwise, but how does one convey that? Do I risk being given that label 'implacable' despite having real concerns?

I would also like to add, those concerns were backed up by professionals in social care.

If you came to see me professionally I'd want to see all your case papers and also have a lengthy meeting with you. for that reason alone, I can't possibly answer. If you rely on any response given here, ..... good grief.
