Concerns about daughter seeing her dad who assaulted me

Hi
Early last year, my daughters dad assaulted me in front of her. She was 6 weeks old. He has anger issues but refuses to get help. He had one counselling session and claims he doesn't need anymore because he feels better now.

At the time, I told my HV about what happened. Family services were involved and because he was admitting his mistakes and promising he'd get help, it was sort of left after it was ensured he'd moved out.

Now, we obviously aren't together but I get so worried about my daughter being alone with him in future. When he gets angry, he gets scary. He grits his teeth, throws things etc. He threw her baby grow at a wall when he assaulted me whilst changing her. I'm scared that when she is old enough to not be 'controlled', he will act out. He admits he doesn't have control of his emotions in those situations.

Is there anything I can do? My daughter is one now and I get so worried. He lives with parents so he probably has better control of himself there so I'm more worried about when he moves out

Not a chance would I allow him to have her.
I'd only let him have her on certain terms such as only at a soft play session or at his parents (and only if you trust his parents)

Has he got any drug or alcohol issues?

Contact social services and tell them you want supervised contact but don't want it in your own home or be there yourself to supervise.
