ok, i'm worried now!

I didn't know that social services did a check :blush:
my 2 children are known to SS BUT only because i rang and asked for support with my son in janruary as he was wanting to stab himself following a court ruling saying he HAD to see his father (contact)... which stopped 2 weeks later anyway :angry: his father couldn't be bothered to come and see my kids and hasn't bothered since :panic: ... oh and SS refused to help me!! :mad:

also i have some rent arreas which i was taken to court for cos the inland revenue messed up my tax credits so i couldn't afford to pay my rent, as i HAD to pay my childcare so i could continue to work, i have had my MP trying for over a year to get the money owed to me from the inland revenue (almost £2k) and it has now been passed to the Ombudsman to investigate as we have tried every way possible to get it sorted out

will this affect me?? :(

I can't really see that either of them could go against you to be hohnest.

With ss you were doing the best for your child and as for the rent arrears, this wouldn't affect your capabilities as a minder :)

Hope everything goes your way :)

thanks xx


SS know about my kids but i have NEVER had any follow up from them, so surely if they were concerned they'd have been out?
and it was me asking for help not someone reporting me IYKWIM???

I'm afraid there's no telling what they will decide...

It depends on who accesses your files, how much they read, what they decide about your son's issues and his suitability to be in a house with childminded children... it's not an emotional response for them, it's about risk assessing.

BUT if the decision goes against you, you can appeal and have your say then.

Hope it goes smoothly for you! :D

ss are rubbish in my opinion (sorry to anyone on here who is part of them):blush:

Like you say, it was you who tried to get their help and call them in, it wasn't someone else reporting on you :)

He is FINE now, and goes to mainstream school without any problems, and is very very popular with his classmates! i wouldn't dream of childminding if he posed a risk.... he has a 1 year old half sister who he dotes on.
It's just being made to see his dad was something he really didn't to do, he's usually fine and has NEVER been like this before. He has had play therapy (at my request) to work through this and has been signed off as he's now fine, so i can't see him being a danger to other children, and the school and current after school club will confirm this!

Sorry hun I didn't mean in any way to upset you.

Social services reports take the emotion out of things, that's what I'm trying to say.

They do not report about the whys and hows... it's not in their remit.

Nobody knows what will happen til the report comes through so please don't worry about it yet xx

Hiya hun

I do know what the report says, but i can't say how :thumbsup: :laughing:

and all it says is that i was worried about my son yet they didn't think he would really do anything :eek:

also states NO FURTHER ACTION

:)

Sorry hun I didn't mean in any way to upset you.



i know you didn't hun, and i'm not upset just glad of the input :D xxx

Just wanted to say good luck to you

Angel xx

thanks

just remembered, social services were happy for me to apply to be a foster carer, but i have decided to wait until my kids are older before i do that!

hopefully i'm worrying about nothing :laughing:
