Hoping someone here could help too.
Long story short, currently still in court proceedings but next court date isn't until mid 2021. Section 7 report has been completed which showed dc is at moderate risk to violence but this is minimised by family support on the father's side following this mother has agreed to contact as suggested by cafcass even though she still had welfare concerns after father emotionally and verbally abused their dc.
DC has been showing signs of withdrawal and extreme behaviour after contact (head butting, biting, night terrors and a regression in speech which may also be linked to a possible autism diagnosis) dc has limited vocabulary however when the father is mentioned dc will cry and scream. All of this has now been witnessed by a health visitor who has in turn also contacted the gp and they both believe it is linked to contact. Children's services has now been contacted by the HV.
I'd like to know are interim orders easy to vary given that there are professionals saying contact isn't benefitting dc ? And in the meantime does contact continue as stated in the order or can the mother act unilaterally in ensure dc is kept safe i.e. request contact be supervised ?
