Does anyone know if I report an issue to social services about something my ex is doing with the children if it will be linked with current cafcass investigations.
No, it wont unless social services deem it very serious what you are alleging.
Thatβs the problem, I see it as very serious and does involve an illegal element, but I do only have the words of a 5 year old to know if it is real. ( not sexual as I would obviously do something immediately but does have the potential for harm) . Do you have any suggestions? I would like something done before next visit but would like it to be known to cafcass as well?
if cafcass are still dealing with your case, you should let them know about it.
The problem you are likely to have is you report it is that social services speak to mum and close the case straight after. Then your ex will make matters worse for you in family court. its unlikely Cafcass will hear about it unless a s7 report is done afterwards which will just have details with case closed behind it.
Yes I canβt decide if I should let police or cafcass deal. But definitely want cafcass to know as backs up my whole case .... if it can be proved. Section 7 is in progress and have had my visit
I emailed or spoke to cafcass a few times while they were doing s7 report. it's a good time to let them know of concerns before they close case and vanish.
Is there a place I can ask privately if it is as bad as I think or will tell me Iβm making too much of it?
You can send a private message if you would prefer.
Thanks have done to another moderator, think I need to report
glad you got sorted π
