No, social workers do not have access to Facebook messages, they are private. To do so you would probably need to hack the servers or something, Facebook wouldn't authorise anyone to look, especially over something mild.

From what I have been told by our family's social worker (who mentioned in a ...

I didn't even know that was possible. I have never heard of anyone being "lucky" enough to get a visit daily, they might as well live with you, and surely they have other families to deal with. Our former social worker, the one whose presence gave me panic attacks, threatened to move to weekly ...

In my experience, as a whole, they aren't good at making reasonable adjustments for parents who have additional needs. It seems to depend on the professionals themselves to be the sort of people who would think of such a thing. We have had three different social workers, and a whole bunch of other ...

I have wondered whether he has had all sorts of things, in the ...

Were you told why you are not allowed to contact your fiancée?

My social worker has made a referral to CAMHS.

It is incredibly unlikely that I will be able to continue parenting him as he grows up, Im a great parent and do well looking after the other three children, but the 13 year old is so unlike any other kid that it is beyond what I can do, especially ...

Hi

I'm in a similar situation,my children are accommodated under section 20 and have been since November. The local authority have just issued care proceedings due to the fact that myself and the children's father(separated) haven't recognised the impact of domestic abuse on the girls. I have been ...
