Looking for some advice, had a Caffcass meeting - I thought it went well however the report says different, my ex girlfriend states my step dad is not a ‘nice man’ and my mum said she ‘will smash her face in’ my mum has said she did not say this and no proof to say otherwise. Secondly my step dad did used to do drugs regularly when I was young, I’m 29 now, I wouldn’t say he’s done drugs since I was about 9. So was in and out of prison when I was young.
Is this likely to affect me seeing my daughter with me living at my parents house? Or will it be looked over?
Really stressing out regarding this so any help would be much appreciated!
I haven’t seen my daughter now for about a year, maybe longer but my ex is trying to say it’s been longer than that, I have proof it isn’t! I’ve raised loads of concerns however none seem to have been listened to by Caffcass!
hi,
Cafcass will likely look into allegations about your step dad/mum. If their historic incidents, they may downplay it. if they think theres risks then may say child should not be in presence of step dad.
This is the section 7 report that Cafcass did or is it the initial safeguarding call? if you need help you can contact me. sending you private message...
