If you are worried about you or someone you know is at risk of harm, please click here: How we can help
You could try and go above the social worker to his/her manager and asking for an appointment to come in and see them about concerns you have about the way your case is being handled, I think you can ask for a case review, but you would need to look into that. FRG maybe able to advise on that.
Alternatively, all Local Authorities have a complaints procedure, if you feel you are being treated unfairly. Of course always be civil and reasonable with them, as I’m sure you would be. To find out more you would need to contact the LA in your area.
All the best
Yes that is something I was going to discuss with my family law solicitor at our next meeting, but until the harassment hearing is out of the way next week and I know the outcome from that there's not much I can do.
Asking for an appointment to speak to the SWs manager, could be done at anytime... it’s not an official complaint at that point, but I can understand that you might want to concentrate on the harassment case.
