We had a few issues with the assessment that we inaccurate such as they said we have a 2 bed property that would not be large enough for 6 people when in actual fact we have a 3 bed with more than enough space for 6 people. Our daughter has a social worker (she has attachment issues caused from trauma when living with birth mum) and the reporter wrote about our son having a social worker also which is not the case they have worded the report so it looks like we lied to them about our son having a social worker when he doesn't and never has he was only mentioned by our social work team as he is named in our daughters file!
We did not appeal the decision as the social worker who wrote the report basically made us believe that the social work decision was final HOWEVER upon receiving a phone call from the children guardian we were told that this is not the case and that they can request us to be re assessed that we should write to the courts and explain the issues we have.
We are too late to appeal as it has been longer than 28 days and we no longer have the report (our little boy spilled milk on it) so we don't know who to write to. We tried speaking to the socail worker involved but she was out and hasn't called us back. What should we do this is a whole different process for us as we live in Scotland and the girls live in England. We would like to be in court and give our side and state our case but we don't know if that is allowed, would we need to get a solicitor and would we be entitled to legal aid?!
any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks
