Just curious because something has crossed my mind.
Spoke to CAMHs on Friday, we should have an outcome this month. So I'm wondering, if the eldest does have ADHD or whatever, would that mean his wishes and feelings done in the previous section 7 wouldn't really count? I imaging one a child with ADHD doesn't really understand the concept of it all.
What make it worse is that when social worker did the wishes and feelings, she didn't actually speak to him, she left him a handwritten questionnaire and all this was just the day before the report was due.
I'm just wondering.
...not sure about that to be honest crocs. I'm surprised that he was left a questionnaire that could so easily have been manipulated by his father surely?
Perhaps you should speak to his support worker about how his condition would relate to things like wishes and feelings and whether in light of his diagnosis whether the court would favour a different outcome for him.
Thanks mojo!
Only reason it crossed my mind was because I remember when he was excluded I was told should anything like this come to light I was told I could appeal the decision and maybe gain his place back in school. I wouldn't do that because he does need a specialist school but it made me think if school say that then maybe court would?
I brought the questionnaire up in court, it was dismissed and the social worker was highly commended for her report! Rubbish eh!
...you're welcome, although I didn't offer much that was constructive. You've been through so much with little or no support from the various agencies. I hope things settle for you soon.
