[Solved] Section 7 report delayed

Sorry to hear, I had a similar issue but chased it very early on, also had my date moved cos of it.

I think it went very well, but I've read that people though that then got report.... So not sure what to think.

Did you have it today?

Fingers crossed your report will be fine. Ultimately, Cafcass are going to write up the report how they see fit. If there are any major errors in your report when you get it, note them down, contact Cafcass, and keep records of your correspondence, but hopefully you won't need to.

The safeguarding interviews I have done in the past seemed to go well. When I got the reports each time, they were about 50% accurate and 50% misinterpretation from Cafcass/bullshit from my ex that Cafcass took her word on. As [censored] as it is when Cafcass aren't fully behind you or have painted you in a bad light, it didn't affect either case, so bare that in mind when you read your report. If anything wrong is said in the report, you can contact them. They probably won't change it, but you can document it as I said. And if any misinformation does come up in your hearing, you can argue why it's inaccurate and tell them what you actually said to Cafcass.

I'm dreading mine next week. I find them so nerve-racking, and although the interview with them last time could have gone worse, there were some other inaccuracies along the way that painted me in a really bad light, and weren't resolved.

Yeah I had it today, fingers crossed!

I hope your hearing goes well and you finally get it resolved! It's so draining isn't it, just gotta keep going and stay strong.

Cafcass said to me today, she doesn't understand why she's promoting contact, I want contact but yet it's not happening...

Agree with it happened to me Cafcas will listen but always go with the X regardless what you say.
(Always inaccuracies by them but all the best)

Hi Antdad
How did it go?

Hope it was positive for you

Hi all,

Still waiting on my report to come back to me but I think it well (hope so)!

I had my safeguarding interview with Cafcass today. It was definitely the most positive experience I've had with Cafcass, and the lady I spoke to was a vast improvement of the lady I spoke to for my last court application, but I know not to get my hopes up. They did seem to take my concerns very seriously, which was helped by the fact that I had already spoken to children's services about the same concerns yesterday. Their ears seemed to [censored] up when I told them that children's services had advised me to tell you 'x, y and z'. It also helped that I had spoken to this lady a couple of times already, a few weeks ago, and had already helped her out by sending them a copy of the court order that they hadn't received. I feel the familiarity helped me in what can otherwise be quite a cold interview. Anyway, ultimately, none of that means anything, and what will be will be! Whatever happens, we know our truth.

I hope it went well for you! How do you feel that it went?

I felt quite positive but longer I wait for report I start to worry then feel all negative. Worrying that they're not gonna submit on time! Due by 22nd and hearing is 23rd!

Sounds good but a word of caution make sure you get a copy before date read it because they have a habit of delaying sending out the copy of the interview and wording it differently (It happened to me) I thought that they were going to be trueful but twisted wording within the report.

Do you think I should chase it the day before it's due to make sure it's still coming out?

Yep 100% but I hope it's a true account as wording because beleave me it's going to be tuff. They will take Cafcass word over anything so fingers crossed. Hope it works out,

if court wants you to write a response to S7 report, then you should chase it up urgently, as you don't want to be writing a last minute statement and getting stressed about it.
