Contact from supervised to supported

Hey ladies,

So I left my very abuse relationship in 2016 after Claire’s law disclosure where there are two serious sexual crimes reported but NFA different dates different women and violent crimes. Our daughter is now 18 months old. She sees her father for the past 6 months every two weeks for two hours. We have had CafCas involvement and I am now having CafCas tell me that my ex will have supported contact being most likely. I have written some points below and would like your opinions. Should I email this or call the CafCas and demand that supported not be allowed until our duaghter can communicate verbally.

  1. she will be alone in the room with Ex and it can only take a moment for a physical, verbal, or sexual assault to take place. The contact workers may not go in or out regularly as the centre may be busy.
  2. I am fully aware supervised contact can’t take place for long time however all I ask is that F can verbally express anything. She can’t tell anyone what is happening in the room with her and ex alone together. At least until she 2.5 to 3 years old where she will remember and she can express and verbalise proficiently to everyone what is happening.
  3. criminal record- I am the third woman who reported the crime that took place. The risk of it happening again is there. It’s my biggest fear for F. In the most recent case of Poppi the poor baby who was raped by her father. He was not known to police yet he commuted such a horrific crime. Who will take responsibility if he is to harm her in this way?

It is so scary to think that she will be alone with him I suffered tremendously in the relationship and the fact finding some to nothing. What should I do. Section 7 report due on the 29th jan.

Are the crimes against women or children?

To put you mind at rest it is really very unlikely that he would harm your child at a contact centre. You need to work with Cafcas ior you risk being seen as frustrating contact. He is her father and as of now has not harmed her or threatened to. In thessence cases it is usually deemed to be in a child's best interest to have contact with the father.
