Did the FRG advise you about getting included in the process of the S47?
It must be an extremely upsetting time for you and your family, hopefully you will learn more once the reports are in and the case is properly underway.
All the best
Yes, she stated they have a set amount of time to complete it.
As the police haven’t spoken to me I don’t see how they can finish it in this time.
I’ve read the safeguarding letter again and it does seem a little better reading it a second time. I must admit everything on the ex side is all fabrication . Thanks for all the advice it’s always nice to get the opinion and advice of others who see it from a different angle.
You’re welcome Villarkita... yes, we do tend to take reports very personally, I’m glad you were able to read it and gain a little more perspective.

So I was at court today and received a position statement with yet more lies and allegations in that hadn’t happened, funny really though as I can disprove a few of these ones.
It was ordered that a section 7 should be completed and the courts also ordered that the section 47 and the initial social services reports be provided to the courts. I won’t be back at court for over 3 months and next time it’s going to be in front of a district judge.
I have yet to hear from the social worker despite me leaving her a message but I’m due to give a voluntary interview to the police shortly.
I must admit I’m worried about the section 47 as the social worker hasn’t spoken to me about any of it and it’s due to be completed shortly.
Well it would seem I am well and truly done here.
I got the s7 a last month and it’s all negative, all the background supplied by mum! I was spoken to last minute a week before the report was due to be filed at the court! S7 done by the same social worker who has done the social care assessment and the s47, both of which she has done without me and hasn’t sent me any copies of. The s7 states no contact at all.
Went to court last month and it’s been scheduled for a final hearing. The judge said I should be giving some indirect contact.
So we swapped statements recently and the ex wants the judge to order all indirect contact goes through a third party (her mother) and that they get to read the letters first! Now what use is indirect contact if the people alienating my daughter against me are the ones receiving the letter? Obviously I’m not accepting this, if a 3rd party should be receiving the letter it’s got to be someone impartial and someone not emotionally involved! Also why should my ex or her mother be reading a private letter between me and my daughter? In effect it’s them still controlling what little contact would remain. My daughter is not in prison so why should her mail be intercepted?
Not far off giving up, it’s a sad thing to say but my poor daughter is the one who’s suffering and who’s going to continue to suffer with a life time with them.
