hello im new to all this so i dont know if im in the right place. im sorry if this is far to long any advice would be great.
im so worried a few weeks ago my son had a home visit from a speech therapist.
we had another appointment booked the following week I explained we can't do this as my son had his first appointment at the special needs dentist.
a few days later I get a phone call from her saying she's gone in to the dentist and told them I was anxious about him going. she then said that's OK I have done that isn't it ? she did not have my permission to do so. she's also told the health visitor I have no support at home. as I haven't decorated since I moved in at the start of the year. I'm a single mum on income support.
I have a great family support network.im very upset she's said this.
on Monday I got another phone call from her saying she's refurred me to child services !!! she said on the phone it's for me to get the support I need to get charity's involved to help decorate.
I had child service phone me Thursday saying she had concerns about my flat it was dirty and smelly. and a lot more..
15 min later I had a phone call from the health visitor. she came round Friday morning. before she left she said she has no concerns. and not to worry.
I have got my self in a state. I have spoken to a volunteer who I have from a family support group I'm involved with she said for me not to worry. I'm still waiting for children services to phone back she said wither Friday or this coming Tuesday.

should I be worried ?
thank you for taking the time to read this

Maybe the speech therapist was coming from a good place when she went to speak to the Dentist but, she should have asked for your permission first.
I don't think you should be worried if you spoke to the volunteer. However, for again I would say as little as possible during these visits as it seems they have taken what you have said and used it without your permission. In the interim, I would give the flat a good deep clean and tidy and that may ease your mind knowing they would be coming back (if they do) into a cleaner environment.

Is it possible you are desensitized to the mess in your home, if it is true that your home is dirty and untidy? Maybe try to look at your environment from the perspective of the therapist.

he health visitor said she has no concerns it dosnt smell dirty or it dosnt smell like bleach like i have cleaned it.
i never once said i was anxious about him going to the dentist at all.
she even phoned me to say shes doing this for me to get support to decorate. Brew
i have aslo had other professionals doing home visits and they have never had any concerns.
once again thanks for your feed back

In that case the therapist sounds like she stepped WAY out of bounds. If you feel that you should report her, then do it. You sound like a wonderful mum! Try not to worry!
