Brief back story split up with emotionally abusive ex 6 months ago. At the time I didn't have the strength to stand up to him in court, plus I wanted to give him another chance to act reasonable. I didn't see him as a risk to my dd so he continued to have regular contact basically 50/50. Then till now he has snatched her from my care when we get into an argument leaving me distraught. I phoned the police on him a few times and it came to nothing as he has PR. Then a few weeks ago he assaulted me was arrested and let go within hours due to "lack of evidence" they didn't bother to get any. SS got involved advised me to keep my DD safe and try and reduce contact. I managed to get court orders in place to stop him harrassing and snatching my dd. I told my solicitor that I was thinking of reducing contact due to SS concern but the courts advised not to do this as it will upset her routine. I feel bullied into making arrangements that I don't feel is right for DD but I don't want to come across as being a bully myself at my wits end. Help.

I am not sure how the courts advised you not to reduce contact when you only just mentioned it to your solicitor.
You can get a report from SS advising reduced contact and supervised visits.
You instruct your solicitor so tell them this is the route you want to take on the advice of SS.
Stop allowing yourself to be pushed around stand strong for your child and yourself.
