Social Services

Me and my partner are involved with social services. Currently in the stages of letter before proceedings but have been told if everything goes to plan it will go to Child protection. We are living apart. My partner is living with elsewhere and had supervised contact. They are moving house and the house he is moving into does not belong to him. Do they have to inform the social services of there new address? If they don't if/can it effect our case? They will still be attending meetings and having supervised contact.

Better to let them know and they not need the information than to withhold anything that could be detrimental to your case.

I would be open about absolutely everything. No one wants a child protection case to stay open for long so total honestly and transparency is helpful.

The fact that the house doesn’t belong to him won’t matter. That’s of no consequence.

He needs to say where he is staying! Will seem more alarming if he withholds it as could raise further questions like who is he staying with.

The reason he isn't wanting to say is because the people he is staying with have got sick of knocks on the door etc. So if he doesn't share the new address, it could effect the case in a negative way? Can they keep us on PLO because of it?

Knocks on the door from social services?

If he hides where he is staying for that reason then that will almost certainly impact on your case. Children go on the child protection register where their needs and safety are not being kept at the centre of their parents actions.

Social services should be sympathetic to residency difficulties and can try to make arrangements of how to contact him. He MUST be open though. If they go knocking on the old address and he isn’t there it will look terrible

Absolutely will be seen as negative.

He needs to be honest.

Yes it will negatively impact your case if he doesn't provide SS with his new home address OP.

They need to be able to communicate with him including via letter. It could definitely affect the outcome of PLO
If he is not truthful.
