Hello. I have multiple threads running about this & am incredibly grateful to all of you.

Firstly, Does anybody know where I can find an advocate to come to Social Services meetings with me?

& also how can I get advice on a Parenting capacity assessment?

I won't list everybody who I have tried already but I'm hoping there's is one/some who I have missed.

I'm in Suffolk.

I had my CPN come to most of mine as I was under MH team at the time
I have heard of Mackenzie friends, which may be worth a shot
I feel for you SS were my worst nightmare at the time

It's McKenzie friends

You can have anyone at the meetings and conferences Could be your Mum or a trusted friend?

Thank you uncomfortablydumb53 My mum can't come to these & I don't really have any friends.

I am speaking to a counsellor but it's online & he's miles away (I had already thought that I wish that he could come with me!)

I will have a look at McKenzie friends.

Ahh I'm sorry, from a quick Google I believe they are only involved if things proceed to court, as they did in my case.

Oh are they? Ok well thank you anyway, I appreciate the support.
