Long Story short.
I have 2 children aged 4 and 2 my youngest's father is currently taking me to court to gain contact with her but in the circumstances i feel she is unsafe and no contact should be give.
The story is we seperated and he was given plenty off oppourtunities for contact with her and he used to bring her back earlier or would ask if he could have her in my house so he could control where i would be. He used to be verbally and physically abusive towards me and when i confronted him about scaring my children he would say he didn't care etc. Even after all of these occasions i let him have contact as and when it suited him until my eldest daughter told me he tells her to do things so i got the police involved and the looked into it but because of her age and her not disclosing anything further to them they cannot do anything about it. Since then he has had NO contact what so ever as i no longer feel she is safe where he is and i believe he is only trying to get contact with her so he can see what i am doing.
We are currently at court about contact as the law states because the police never took anything of what my eldest daughter said nothing can be done about this so he is entitled to have contact with my youngest child. after the last hearing we were told he would get heavily supervised contact with core services and cafcass both present. After meeting with core services and arranging for them to visit and meet my daughter before they took her to contact i received a phone call saying that unfortunately they are not willing to help as she is only 2 and therefore i have to take her to contact(which i am not willing to do).
So basically i was wondering if any 1 could advice me on what's best now as i am not willing to take her to contact with him as i don't want any contact with him for reasons they know about, but i am willing for them to come and meet her a few times and get to know her so we both feels safe for them to take her to contact yet they are saying this is not possible and i am the one who HAS to take her or i am in contempt of court.
Isn't it against my human rights to force me into a situation where i don't feel safe.

Can I ask are they suggesting that you take her to a contact centre to have contact with him?
If so it is often possible to arrange it at the contact centre so you don't have to have any contact with him.

the only reason i agreed to contact in the first place was because it was heavily supervised by 3 people in a contact centre and they would be responsible for picking her up from my house and taking her to contact but now they are saying because she is only 2 its not possible, so now thats why they say i have to take her. But i am not willing to do this as i dont feel safe to be near anywhere where he will be. He harrassed me to the point i never left the house for months because everywhere i went he would turn up and be verbally abusive to me infront of my children and others, and this was after i had the police involved.
