Drug test and contact centre advice?

Ds is 8mo, has only seen his DF a handful of times after I initiated contact when he was 6wo, due to him wanted no contact throughout pregnancy and birth etc.
Long story short, I sought advice and contact stopped due to the fact he was under the influence of drugs ( cannabis ) main concerns were driving with DS , smoking in the car and obviously his duty of care.
Lawyers are involved and I have opposed contact to begin in a contact centre to allow a relationship to be established but have asked that a drug analysis test to be done first. Obviously to eliminate my concerns and also so that when contact does leave the contact centre I won’t have to ask for a drug test to be carried out which would stall the moving on process.
His representative has replied stating that he is not willing to undertake a drugs test and doesn’t see this as a concern giving the fact he had contact previously ( it stopped due to this concern) .
What can I do here guys? I’m really upset /anxious and worried . There is a back story to this and I am trying my best to look into the best interests of our son. I want to refuse contact centre access to go ahead until this can be cleared but where do I stand ? And also what would happen if this got taken to court and a judge was to decide?
Thankyou so much xx

Well, if you want to refuse then refuse. They may go to court at which point a judge will decide what they believe is in the best interests of the child.
