You don’t need one, but it’s a good idea to prepare one, to bring the court up to date... just a couple of pages.

Thank you, I’ll get working on it soon.
I guess a little bit of history, what’s going on and how my daughter is happy while she is at mine should hopefully be all I need for now.
Quick update.
I put in the c79 to the court and I have been given a court date in July.
I have also had a welcome letter from cafcass stating that they will be calling me at some point, I’ve started taking notes about what I’d like to speak about but it seems quite lengthy? I don’t want to come across as nit picking at every little thing but they all seem to prove my point about effecting my child and alienating behaviours. Any advice on what’s too much or what to focus on? I’ve got 3 pages of A4 at the moment and I’m not even finished yet.
When my daughter initially refused to see me I contacted the school but had not heard back from them. Monday I went in to the school and surprise surprise my contact details have been removed for the second time in under a year. I will be writing a letter to the head over the weekend as I still have not received a call back from the school! I just feel like I am being pushed further out of my daughters life and now they’re denying me my parental rights despite me having a parental responsibility order.
I went to a MIAM and they’re going to see if my ex will do mediation.
I wrote a letter to my ex offering an arrangement so my child could spend time with their siblings but nearly a week later I’ve had no response.
I wrote a letter to my child telling her that we miss her and sent her a few of her favourite things.
To be honest we all miss her so bad and it really upsets me to think what she must be going through...
I spoke to her councillor and she stated that my daughter has reasons for not wanting to revisit but she cannot share these with me without consent. I just feel like an outsider in my own child’s life.
hi Villarkita,
i hope the cafcass call goes well for you. if its the first time your hearing from them, then they will ask basic details about your child, age, dob etc. at the end of my call, i received a report of the call which was riddled with errors. police check done on 2 year old child. no records found. hilarious. had to contact them to get it corrected.
they are supposedly trained to spot parental alienation, so you should make that the main focus of the call. but try your best not to slag off the ex. and tell them how the school are being jerks and that you have a right to know how your kids are doing at school, picking them up, or going to parents evening etc.

Thanks for your post, I followed up with the school again today and called social services as I wanted to speak to them about a few issues... they informed me that apparently my daughter has made some allegations about me and they will be in touch with me within the week!
It just gets worse and worse
hopefully cafcass will take over and go talk to other socials and school, and get to the bottom of things.

I hope so and I’ll try to post back here when I’ve spoken to the social worker and when I know what kind of allegations have been made.
This is almost identical to my case, been almost a year but getting to see them through supervised contact in the next few weeks. Don't waste your money on a solicitor like I did, total waste of time

I’ve actually changed my mind and I’m trying to find a good mckenzie friends to assist me.
Hopefully I’ll hear something soon and then I can try and navigate my way through this.
It’s absolutely disgusting how people can get away with things like this.
Good luck with your visitation and hopefully mine can resume soon.
Still not heard anything.
Apparently SS and the police have interviewed my daughter nearly two weeks ago and I’ve heard nothing?
I’m expecting a phone call from cafcass in the coming days so hopefully this will shed some light on something.
Have you tried calling them V? It’s the not knowing that makes a bad situation worse, hopefully you won’t have to wait too much longer.
All the best

I have called SS a few times and they have told me that allegations have been made and that I should just wait, they don’t like to give much away.
They’ve also told me they’ve also made contact with my LA SS regarding my children who live with me, I tried to chase that up too but they have no details and nobody had contacted me. I spoke to my older child’s school today and they haven’t had any contact either.
I have sent off SAR to SS to ask for the information they hold on me and daughter.
