Will a non-molestation order cover contact with child after assault? Chances of being granted

Asking on behalf of my ndn as she can't articulate it well ( not sure I can to be honest)
I'll try to add all info

She's been in an abusive relationship. They have 1 dc. Married but sleeping separate for at least 3 years. She solely owns the property.

3 weeks ago he assaulted her. She called police.. he was arrested and bailed with the condition not to go to the property or contact unless it was to see the dc.
The day after he text to ask to see the dc. She ignored on social workers advise . He then waited fairly near to our street to see the dc on return home from school. She called police as harassment and abuse. Imo maybe I'm wrong but he just called over the street you didn't reply , when can i see dc please.
Police noted it down.

He attended a school event a different time to her. And was nearby after he then called to the dc and said daddy loves you hope you're well, and see you soon.
Again police called they said they would re arrest. But didn't.
I don't know if classed as breaking bail as it wasn't harassing ndn nor attending the property.

He's sent 3x more texts and his dB has text to arrange to see dc. All have been ignored on social worker advice.

Ndn has an idva? Support person and they've applied for a NMO.
She's worried it may not be granted . There is 2 videos of him shouting that I know off and one where he pushes the dc :( like a shove to get them out the way . I know the SW has seen these too.

The SW and idva? Has said he's not to see the dc and wants a NMO to cover the dc too. There's no family court application as of yet to see the dcs as far as she's aware.
Her court date is next Friday for nmo .

The bail conditions have also ended 3 days ago if that's relevant.

A NMO is unlikely to cover the children, it will be for her only.

Any orders in respect of contact will need to go through the family court however as mother she can simply refuse to allow contact and wait for ex to progress with a court application, especially as there is a financial cost.

If bail conditions have been lifted is there an outcome of the police investigation?
