Ragoo this is awful news I am sorry to hear. Chin up and remember there is a bigger picture that one day you child will have more contact with you.
I am not sure of the exact circumstances but I wonder if there is anything that can be pushed to make the hearing sooner. Presumably a section 7 is going to have to be produced and all the allegations investigated. If there is no risk is there any merit in going back to the court or getting SS to assess sooner as this could affect bonding with your son and further parental alienation.
How old is your son?
Raggoo,
apply to the courts mate, even go in person and hand in the form if this is the worst case scenario. Explain as you have said to the forum of the difficulties in not reestablishing contact and emphasise parental alienation and that he is of age age where he is becoming impressionable.

I'm unsure of where to go from here?
What do i apply for or form do i send in?
My solicior said as there was no report from SS or CAFCASS (CAFCASS won't be involved) as SS have been told to do the report, that the court won't decide anything as they want to be guided by someone, which is why they've said they won't even make a supervised contact until a section 7 is done.
I'm not even allowed supervised or a telephone call with him, her side argued that they don't want any contact resuming untl the report is done as it could affect him if the report was to show up damning evidence & contact was taken away again & that would not be fair on my son.
It seems, the magistrates fully take that as acceptable!
You could speak to your solicitor about appealing the decision not to allow any contact....theres no proof that the child is at risk from you and you have an established bond with your child, point out that contact centres are there for just this very reason and you would be happy to use this service whilst the report is being compiled.....point out the time that has already elapsed and that december is months away...its effectively a form of alination.....or you could try writing a letter to the judge and clarify the risk assessments that you speak about that were three years ago, and shouldn't now be given too much weight as they are historic. As Boycie says you can argue that the longer your son is kept away from any contact with you the harder it will be for him.
I'm sorry I can't offer anything else to help you.
Thankyou NJ - i've emailed my solicitor, to ask their opinion.
I'm very keen for a letter to be written to the magistrates, i feel the only thing they can say is no so it's worth an ask.
