Father not social distancing

Hi, my daughter has been visiting her dad (who lives with his parents) still through lockdown. At the beginning the conditions for her going were as long as they make sure they’re careful, preventing the spread of corona, hygiene, not allowing our child to see anyone or go to shops etc when she visits.
I’ve since found out that whilst my child has been staying at his he’s had a child family member from another household (who are not social distancing) go around to see our kid. He’s had friends around for a bbq, and he’s been spotted walking down the Street a couple times, carrying a crate of beer with different mates all from seperate households.
I have heart issues myself and a young baby here, to say im fuming is an understatement. I can’t believe that he’s put my family at risk and i trusted him to see her. I’ve said she cannot go around anymore and he’s denied it lying and just hasn't even replied back since.

I just wanted some advice on where do i stand here? How can he get away with putting us at risk like this, surely if we catch it because of him breaking social distancing then its a crime especially if one of us gets badly affected.
I also feel like he's an irresponsible parent, this isn't the first time he's lied regarding our daughter when questioned. I'm thinking shall i go down a court route when this is over? The dad is in his 30ʼs.
I live in England btw and the Uk is the second worse hit in the world.
