Letter from social services; help!

[Seb101]

Today I have received a letter from social services referral and assessment department. It says my child has been referred to them! I can't speak to anyone until tomorrow, and I'm going out of my mind with worry! We are a normal, two parent, loving family. We adore our little girl. I can't think what it could be about. I phoned a general help desk and they couldn't help. The person I need to speak to isn't around today! But they said someone has referred our child, and this would be because of a concern over her safety and well being. It could be a doctor/ health visitor or a member of the public. We've had no accidents, doctors or health visitor contact; so unlikely to be them. I'm so scared of what might happen....
Can anyone offer any advice? Could this be something routine? Has this happened to anyone? My dd is well cared for, bright, healthy. I've never smacked her, or screamed and shouted at her. I'm a good mum, and she's my whole world. If anyone has experienced this type of situation; please help! I will ring them tomorrow, but in the mean time, I'm very worried!

I have had something similar op, I still go cold when I think about it. All was well in the end but having a cp social worker round is terrifying, pm me if you want to chat.

ps- it was a relative who had just pleaded guilty (totally unbeknown to me) possessing indecent images of children, ss wanted to know what contact my dc's had with him, which was very little and never unsupervised.

Good luck, still scarey but good it isn't a concern about you, so you can rest easy on that score at least.

orangeunderground - I wish all social workers were like you then, you sound nice.

Hope all has gone well today OP and your ok

Hope you are ok op.

Was reading this thread with interest. Hope everything went OK with SS.

What happened, OP?

Hi I have only just joined mums net op are you ok? I've just read nearly all the bits here I was wondering if you are gonna come back with an update pls.I have interest in all social services cases as I have first hand experience of what it's like to be harassed by social services it happened to me when my little one was just approaching their first birthday it was a child in need case and it only happened due to a housing issue nothing to do with my parenting and I feel disturbed that people seem to think child in need only last for a few months mine went on for 4 and a half years and numerous changes in social workers.Then nearly two years ago again they became involved because I fought eviction and went legal,because I fought against eviction I was sited as having neglected my child and because I told my child we may have to leave the hostel they sited me as having emotionally abused my child which as we all know kids notice everything did they think my child wasn't going to notice? Now I always had legal representation for dealing with social services and I would like everyone who gets a letter or a knock on the door to please get legal representation for your child it's so very important.I took my case this time around to a whole new level and I went public and created a Google plus page and wrote a piece called the filth ridden truth about social services i recommend anyone suffering the institutional abuse that is social services to look at my google plus and the social services don't like it especially when you expose their chronic mistakes and failings also parents beware as there is an unholy relationship between your housing sector and the ss.My Google plus page can be found by typing into google plus the following name SOLLY SHERIDAN.

this is a zombie thread - the OP said in her last post that she was worried that posting about the situation here might be used against her by social services so she was going to disappear and not come back - she may no longer be a MNer.
