Hi following on from a previous post I would like to ask for advice on this. Should a social worker complete an assessment on a parent without the children there and also be the child's social worker. Social services has completed an assessment and still not done the work to explore the child's lived experiences. The other party who has the child has had an assessment from a different social worker not involved with the child. Social worker for child has said her opinions are biased as she has completed assessment. Child disproves allegations made in a section 47 from said parent. Allegations are made against the person who the child resides and mental health bought up several times. Child knows nothing and has no knowledge about allegations made. Since allegations parent with child feels "brick walls" have been put up both social workers have changed opinions and are now biased. Until allegations were made assessment social worker said everything was going well and was positive. Now child's social worker wants to talk to child bare in mind no direct work has been done yet and child has seen social worker 4 times since new year (CPP in place) child says they want to live with parent with separate social worker and not back with their social workers parent. We are in PLO and afraid since allegations social worker for child will push child to go back child is 12 and views have been not to return

Any advice is appreciated sorry for so much limitations in the post but someone has shared information that has been passed on already and do not want to get into trouble of Data Protection

Hi,

I would suggest you work with social workers and talk to them about all of your concerns. If your not happy with their conduct, you can make a complaint to their organisation or your local authority.
