Hi there, does anyone know if MIAM (mediation) is still compulsory for an SIO?
Ex is blocking daughter's access to therapy. She's already dropped the GP referral and the school are too understaffed. A few incidents in her care where daughter has had to call ChildLine from anxiety. We're heading to court for arrangement orders (she has bypassed mediation). I need to get my daughter mental health support as she's suffering in mum's house. 11 years old, and she now only wants to see her mum every other weekend.
hi,
as your due to attend court hearing about child arrangements soon, that is your chance to address all these issues. (no need to attend miam). will it be your first hearing? suggest you prepare a position statement, which addresses all your concerns and your proposals.
