social services

[mrsbored]

Hi Ive just found out that my ex and his new partner have social services involved, is there any way of me finding out why as he still has contact with our son and Im concerned as to why?
Also she is currently going through court as her ex is applying for contact to see his children , And I have just found out that cafcas have put in there report to the court that she is to give an undertaking that she will not allow any unsupervised contact between her kids and my ex, can I find out why they dont want my ex around the kids unsupervised? Im worried as he has unsupervised contact with my son and cafcas wouldnt suggest this without reasoning surely?

Phone the social work office and ask.

I would contact them ASAP to highlight that he has unsupervised access to your son, as oversights do happen. and keeping him safe is the priority.

But on respect of their case, they will be unlikely to share info with you unfortunately. Try to get something in writing that he is no risk before carrying on.

It could be that the father objects to his involvement, it could be unfounded. But. It could be that your son is at serious risk and nobody bothered to tell you. Maybe he lied about contact.

I wouldn't let my kids go until I knew more

How have you found all of this out? Surely that person knows more?

Was he violent to you?

What children does she have?

Contact SS and ask them. You can also contact the police and ask if they have any concerns under Sarah’s law.

If it is the court which has ordered that your x has no unsupervised contact it may not necessarily be a welfare concern, it could be that your x's new partner's x has asked her to agree to this for his own reasons. CAFCASS have to make a report on every referral to screen for any safeguarding issues.
