Hi
Yes, you will need to take a position statement with you on the day unless the court asks for one earlier.
If you get magistrates, I would suggest putting in your ps that due to the history of coaching and previous proceedings, that you believe the matter will need to be raised to Tier 2.
If the court want to order a Section 7 report, perhaps ask them to give consideration to appointing a guardian so that your child is represented in court.
Thanks for the post.
A quick update.
I managed to get back on the school system by pointing out to the head it’s his responsibility to make sure my details are on the school register.
I also got the latest school report and her attendance is 90%!
A little disappointed as they had two weeks after allegations were made to coach her as it was half term and also the week after absent from school.
Police and SS both spoke to her but as yet no interview as yet, so another 2-3 have elapsed since that with leaves even more time to be coached.
Some good news though! I’ve spoken to cafcass and they seem to be onboard and have a number of concerns and want everything to be looked at not just the false allegations, the lady even mentioned PA...
So my plan of action is to write a PS and add a brief history with timeline.
Keep your PS brief - 1 to 2 pages max and don't attach evidence yet as you won't have permission.
The court will more than likely give you directions on providing a full statement as the proceedings progress and you will have an opportunity to put everything in to that.
So I got my safeguarding letter today, don’t really know what to think of it really!
Cafcass are recommending a section 7 report.
Social services are already doing a section 47 that nobody has made me aware of or wanted my input, I’m not sure how that should have worked but I’m going to call the FRG tomorrow and find out.
It doesn’t look like I’m going to be having any contact anytime soon.
As far as I know, thats quite a serious safeguarding assessment. Did you speak to the people at FRG?
I have and they and they explained it all to me. I am quite concerned about it as so far nobody from social services have spoken to me regarding this or put the allegations to me to respond to.
As this is due to be completed in 2 weeks it does make me extremely worried. The allegations are of a physical and emotional/mental nature but that’s all I have to go on so far.
