Child protection.. Not sure what to do.

In a situation and don't know what to do.
My daughter has supervised contact, however her father made a threat to kill me. I told children's services about it, as a result of this it was considered ongoing domestic abuse. My daughters HV made a Marac referral and we had a child protection social worker contact me. She's told me not to take DD to supervised contact anymore. The child protection social worker called me and asked for an update on things, I mentioned my hands are tied as there is a court order in place and my ex is absolutely itching to take me back to court for obstruction of contact..
The social worker has demanded to speak to the contact centre and has told them in accepting the supervision I'm not safeguarding myself or our daughter as I'm going against professional advice.
What can I do.. My solicitor has told me to me we can go back and vary the order but disclosure from the local authority we live in will be undoubtedly be asked for. My ex has no idea where we reside now. I moved over 200 miles away from him and I do not want him to know what local authority we're from.

Have you got this in writing from the child protection social services worker and written confirmation that she has spoken to the contact centre?

I don't understand what you are confused about. Social Services have said stop contact. Even if you have q court order in place if SS have said stop contact you have to comply. You could lose your daughter if you don't. You will need to notify the court though. If it is DV issue then they should not disclose your address. Contact Woman's Aid they should be able to advise further.

I'm not confused. I just don't know what to do with respect to ensuring our local authority is not disclosed. The social worker is sending them a letter.

Will they not redact identifying information on a report from council etc?

Addicted2LuvIsland · 12/10/2021 15:06

They shouldn't disclose anything if it is a DV case. I would however put this in writing to your social worker and everyone else you have dealings with. You may then have a case against them should this be breached.

They can redact info to protect you.

What are the police doing about the threat?

RedHelenB · 12/10/2021 20:56

Has your ex got your phone no.or something? How did he contact you to make the threat?

Are you travelling 200 miles for these contacts?
