Sectioned father, what are my rights?

[Skbell1991]

My ex partner and me have one LG together, we split up after a year from her being born due to his mental health issues and him refusing to accept help.
Long story short, he has never seen our daughter since without saying she isn't his, never paid maintenance and never asked about her!
He eventually got help, and ended up being sectioned, for 6months, he has recently been released and is wanting to start contact with our daughter, what are my rights in this? Can I request his medication list so I know what he is taken? And in the past he is prone to missing his meds so if he does this again I wouldn't want our daughter around him.
Is there anything I can do to ensure my daughters safety at all times as in the past his parent have agreed to supervise but he ends up taking her off on his own (he has previously tried to take our daughter and frightened her) any advice would be great fully received!
Thank you

Released? Do you mean discharged?

You don't have any rights, those belong to your child. Parents have responsibilities.

He could see your dc in a contact centre. His medical records are not your business though

Was his section voluntary or involuntary? Being mentally unwell for a period of time in your life doesn't make you dangerous.

You can arrange for him to see his child in a contact centre where he will be supervised at the level felt to be appropriate. If he doesn't agree to this then you can try court but you would need a good reason to stop him.

You have no rights to see his medical records, again, if you have concerns about his use of medication you can speak to a solicitor and look at contact/ no contact being agreed via the courts.

Discharged or released, I'm not familiar with the terminology, I myself have never been sectioned.
In the past he has been abusive, he has broken into 2 of my houses after me moving, once whilst me and my daughter were asleep upstairs (police were phoned and he was cautioned) the second time he came in when we were out and hid under my spare bed all day.
I do my best to get on with him for my daughters sake but I do not want him alone with my daughter until he is levelled out on his medication and he can show he is a responsible parent, all I want to know is if I have rights for this as her sole carer? My daughter has no recollection as to who he is and I do not want her being alone with him just yet.
He was sectioned involuntary, at the time he was calling me and texting me non stop giving me shed loads of abuse.
How do I go about a contact centre?
Thank you.

You can contact

One direct. Or wait for him to take you to court and then a judge can look into this further and get cafcass to look at arranging contact

I'd do that in your shoes. In fact I did. And ex's medical records were looked at, but I don't think that's routine

Thank you, that's very helpful.
I don't think he is a danger to our daughter but I know he could be should he not take his meds!
Thanks for your help I'm going to contact one in the morning! X
