Hi,
Can anyone recommend an Independent Social Worker they've used to write a Section 7 report?
The court agreed to appoint one and my ex agreed to him in court, but has now gone back on that claiming he has a conflict of interest as he's from the same company that provides the ISW that supervises contact (even though she was aware of this when it was agreed). Therefore, I'm looking at other options in case she won't change her mind or the judge agrees with her.
Thanks
Could you ask court to appoint one f4om local SS or CAFCASS?
Well, I wanted an experienced one and also wanted an ISW instead of Cafcass doing it to avoid the Cafcass delays and I've heard from others that often their reports are not high quality.
@hannong can you commission your own social worker to do a s7? instead of cafcass? really?
