Have you taken photos of you together looking happy? If not just use the PS to tell them about doing everything that was asked of you, Perhaps say that having supervised and supported contact helped you a lot to develop a close bond with your child, and that you welcome and appreciate the good reports that have been made as they show how well the contact sessions went. Refer the court back to specific numbered paragraphs in the reports that are favourable.

Stay strong and hold your head high, you’ve done everything you can to be in your child’s life and you have good reports to prove it.

Don’t forget... if the child is displaying signs to her mother, you could point out that the child may well be picking up on the mothers anxiety, and if the mother were to take the reports on board and encourage contact, she may see a difference in the child s demeanour. Saying that when your child is with you, she is happy and relaxed in your company.

If it's a contested hearing it may not be final, if I've read your original post then you've been having contact for 2 years and contact centre for a year....with case closed to cafcass the judge could order fresh report....I pretty much had this every year...every time ex came out with new crapmafter stopping contact the judge would order new s7 reports to get a current view of the situation.

You've had good advice here and if you have jumped through all these hoops, I doubt the court would want to stop things or go in reverse. However, it's hard to know what an individual court would decide?

Is contact still taking place?

At final hearing if not already submitted take a copy of any reports from contact that confirm what you are saying about contact being good. focus on that and that CAFCASS see no need for their involvement so have closed the case to them.
all that should direct the judge to allow contact to continue, i'm sure your ex will kick off at that by sounds of it but you have the proof that contact shouldn't be in contact centre forever, it has to progress / continue outside as you've said you've been having.
Your ex will ahve to have a very good argument for the judge to keep it from happening.

if you get the right result and she kicks off then your next course of action is to have the order enforced, if you suspect this will be the case i personally would be asking the judge what protection is there for your child and your contact should the ex stop it again.
