gojng home plan, how long?

[lockdownmummax]

Hello looking for some advice and time scales for going home plan,

If some of you read my previous post in march it is now time for my kids to return home,
I feel confused as don't feel I get a straight answer from them so looking for time scales and the process we will likley go through,
so at the last core group last week I was told my kids can visit our home during the week for day time visits but not over night, this is because my parenting assessment needs finished ( my SW has told me it's going really positive so far , I have 3 sessions left )
I am engaging with social work I go to everything they ask, and I am doing woman & childrens first, I am not in the pool of perpetrators and never have been, and my lawyer has always reminded me if the SW thought I was involved in any way they wouldn't allow me around my children unsupervised
so my contact has been unsupervised for around 2/3 months now, I stay with them at my mums house apart from when I am working and we now go home for the day 3 days a week afternoon till night,
I am wondering when they will be allowed over nights and then finally to come home?
I am struggling a bit with the process as I don't drive and my mums house is 45 minutes on the train from our home so it's train there & back 3 times a week with a toddler & a 9 month old, between all of this I am working in the hospital and I plan to return to university in October to complete my nursing, I would just find it so much easier if my children where back home and I can get them settled in nursery ( for oldest ) and sort my childcare for my youngest, ( please don't comment I am panning my kids off I have 2 lectures a week lasting 2.5 hours each and I study at night when they are sleeping, I dont go out anywhere lol I'm just a mum who studies in her spare time )
so yeah just looking for some advice on how long this full process will take

and I am also trying not to let this ruin our lives as I don't feel it's fair everything I have worked so hard for to benefit my children and myself is washed down the drain because if someone else's actions :(
I have been back and forth with social services as they made comments such as " mums who are involved with social services don't attend university) and I shouldn't work but I never backed down to them I stood my ground and they have finally came round and stopped commenting on it and are supportive of it

I don't think anyone can give you a timescale it'll depend on how the home visits go and your final assessment. I don't think a SW should be making comments about you going to university BUT I would say that getting the children home should be your priority and if that meant deferring starting for a term or even a year I would consider it. If this doesn't work out then you'll unlikely get a second chance to get your children back whereas University can be done another time

@Cakesandtoffee
who said it wasn't my priority? but I absolutely refuse to let someone else's actions ruin everything I have built FOR my children and it's very very unfair the system is set out like that, as I said my university doesn't affect my children and if it did I wouldn't have enrolled in the first place, what annoys me is that it's me & the kids dragged through this full process and made to make so many sacrifices for something that wasn't our fault due to someone else's actions and it's me that's left to pick up the peace's and
