quick update - Visit is on Wednesday.
Wish us luck... we are prepared and totally child focused.
I would go with the fire guards, as the child isn’t there it isn’t necessary to have them up, but make them aware that you are aware and have them for when the wood burners are in use. The stair gates are not so important, but as you have them, it wouldn’t hurt to err on the side of caution.
Best of luck on Wednesday.
If you have the fireguards, I would be inclined to use them just to prevent him falling against them accidentally even when they aren't alight - I assume the are cast iron, so they are pretty solid.
CAFCASS office here now. I have been told cannot speak to me only my son due to DPA. So I am upstairs with the dog.
They didn’t want to see the house and my grandson room. She said not a home check.
She looks very stern..... worried.
That’s such a shame.... hope it went ok.
