Well still waiting to her from the Sw regarding another meeting with regard to the section 7. Leaving the 1st meeting she said she would ring with another appointment Date. This hasnt happened yet although the receptionist said mid March. my son has left a message for a date but been completley ignored. I understand they are busy but surely they must have a date pencilled in. Report has to be filed by 31st March.
hi,
keep chasing them. emails and calls. with me cafcass have 10 april deadline to submit report. cafcass lady emailed me last week to arrange a house visit.
Possible change of heart by Sw. Final section 7 app today before report is to be completed. The court had ordered that safe guarding checks were completed regarding the mother. The police file was an arm long on abuse reported by my son to the police each entry said she was heavily intoxicated and my son sober. Also his ex had asked the Sw to contact the Sws Who were involved with his other 2 children. They both had negative things to say about her in their report after witnessing her abuse towards him and other family members. Sw asked him what contact he wanted and if he could work with handover being done by his exes mother. Fingers crossed.
sounds good. my ex refuses to do handovers, and gets her family to take turns doing it.
We were to receive the sec 7 report on 31st March but it didnt arrive. Sw didnt return our calls so contacted the court who told us Sw had emailed them on the 31st asking for an extension. So still waiting. DRA hearing on 22nd April
if you have the cafcass report writers number or email address, you should message them asking for an update. my one said she was thinking about asking court for extension is shes not able to have video call with kids. she managed to get it done. my DRA's on apr 24.
Sec 7 finally here. Not good so biased, how do we address this with regards to two different version of events but only hers being documented. Sw twisting things, can these be addressed. Contact recommendations 1 and a half hours a fortnight.
hi,
i don't understand how they can make these restrictive recommendations. and this is supposed to be a permanent solution? did they state that there is safety risks to the child? when reports are like this, i would advise that a barrister be hired for the hearings.
It states that he turns up intoxicated for contact with his other child. That he has only seen his son a handful of times so doesnt know him. The list just goes on and on. They said they will review contact in 6 months.
She said he plus her with drink and she only drinks at his cos he forced her. We have recordings of her ringing him at llam in the morning hammered.
How old is child? Sounds like she/he really young
He is 2.
