Hi guys
Me and my ex are currently in court in regard to custody.
My ex is allowing our children to come into contact with someone whom I think is inappropriate.
What I know for sure about this individual is that he was tagged and placed on a 'terrorist' control order type thing a couple of years back.
I don't know what he was accused of, or whether he was found guilty of the charges or not, but I am very worried about my children being exposed to such a person.
Please advise
I would speak to the social services as soon as possible, and to be honest, with that sort of potential criminal offence, I'd also have a word with your local police to see if they can take an interest. I certainly understand your concerns, and would be equally worried if I was in the same position.
Hi there
I would have thought he would have to have a conviction to be tagged, I also think it would be worth contacting social services and the police and asking about a background check because you are concerned for your children's safety...I think it's called Sarah Law.
Best of luck
The police and children's services both advised me to speak to my solicitor.
I find it really strange that they couldn't help anymore.
However, children's services apparently warned my ex that she is responsible for who our kids come into contact with.
Police, children's services and my solicitor cannot do anything due to dpa
Yes, you can have anyone checked by all accounts - try this link.

It's not called Sarah's Law, it's called Clares Law and I'm pretty sure you can apply for a background check regardless of data protection.
Sorry to gatecrash this thread.... My ex's boyfriend is known to the police ...but has avoided any background checks my wife myself and ex have had crb checks all clear but he didn't have one as at the time she said they had separated can i request this if i go to police station he is still her partner see's our children it's his house they live in etc ?
Mmmm....Id have him checked for [censored] offences anyway, make a complaint to the Police that our request was fobbed off and have him checked.
If you know which courts he was dealth with in relation to terrorism I reckon you could get details of the outcome as they print these in the papers sometimes. Maybe not for terrorism.
I would go back to social services as well and argue that there being links to terrorism puts your child at risk as there could be access to weapons and if involved in violence then there is a clear propensity for it. You do not want your children exposed to violence or put at risk of weapons in theyre possible proximity.
As an example, when I was checked out by SS me being an ex Royal Marine was brought up as Im a trained killler, :), maybe I had access to weapons. I was deemed as possible additional risk due to my previous career.

From my dealings with child services, the police, CAFCASS etc everyone keeps passing you round in circles no one will actually take responsibility it can be really frustrating,
My word of warning is that i kept on and on at child service they them deemed me as obsessed with my Ex !! .... crazy my only concerns is and has always been my children so if possible keep as much correspondence in writing emails/letters etc so you have evidence of why you are contacting them etc , -
it’s madness what can sometimes happen trying to let them know about abuse and children being exposed to DV and they concentrate on why i keep complaining to them !
Since I've been trying to get this guy checked out, I think he's been following me.
He's turning up, albeit occasionally, on the routes that I take to and from school.
I'm at the police station now to see if I can get a background check on him.
They won't tell me the outcome, but if something is picked up, I think they'll at least tell children's services.
