Am I wrong for being concerned?

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping for a little advice and I don't know where else to turn.

I have three children in total. Two with my ex partner and one with my current partner of 4 years.

I had to go through a very lengthy family court battle to see my eldest children (mainly due to covid restrictions and court dates being limited) and didn't see them for 18 months due to being stopped by ex partner when I started a new relationship (months after splitting up). This resulted in a live with / live with order which is pretty much 50/50 bar a few days that my ex has more over a year. Fairly straight forward with no fact finding hearings etc. Just refusal of contact.

Since court had made the final order there have been 9+ men that have spent time with the children. These men come from all over the country that she has met online and stay for a period from 2 weeks to 6 months. The first time she meets them irl is the same time the children meet them.

My concerns are that when we have found out about the men that are spending time there we ask her to make sure shes done her due dilligence and checks on these men. We are met with a barrage of abuse and complete refusal to release any information on the person spending time with the children. We have no issues with her having friends or starting new relationships, we simply need to know that the children are safe. This has been born by a new relationship that started during court when we had no access or information about the children and happen to find out that the man in the house was known to social services. We informed Cafcass who ordered safeguarding checks. The next day he moved out and the issue was dropped.

So the reason for my post is, what can I do?
