Supervised contact after a false allegation of sexual assault

[Asdf]

Hi

I was fa of sexual assault by a niece in May 2016. Ss advised supervised contact with my children in August 2016 but their mum advised that they had said no contact till case closed.

Dec 2017 trail was due but cancelled 10 mins before due to the accuser been deemed unreliable after previous allegations were highlighted to judge which she denied. Officially received a not guilty verdict after cps returned to judge to say they had no evidence.

A week later contacted ss and was told case was closed and contact resumed by my ex. Went back to having the boys average of 5 days a week.

Ss then told me it met the threshold for a risk assessment and supervised contact had to be reinstated. This took place from May to August 2018 before their mum refused to facilitate it. The case closed in December.

After several months of calls and letters iv recently found it was closed due to mum not facilitating contact. I have a c100 submitted to arrange contact initially in a contact centre and hoping for original 50 50 to be granted.

I have a complaint to ss being investigated currently to amend the errors or misinterpretations in the report after assessing a medium risk and closing the case without any recommendations to reduce perceived risk and reinstate contact.

Iv been told at court ss will re open their case.

Is there anything I can do to get contact to my children and get this supervised contact closed.

Not sure if judge will go on ss report ask them to re do it or ask cafcas to do one as no idea how courts work. Or what to expect at court.

Self representation and just want some advice on how to move things forward to get my life back

Dear Asdf

Thank you for your post.

The organisation that may best advise you about how to manage an application for a Child Arrangements Order without a solicitor is Child Law Advice. You may also find information on Advice Now which will be useful to you.

It is not clear in your message why, after one year has passed that Children’s Services say that they are opening your case, aside from your application for a Child Arrangements Order has something else happen? In relation to your complaint about how Children’s Services handled your family’s case in last year, if you have not done so already you may want to ask for access to any records they have, our advice sheet entitled Access to information held by Children’s Services may help.

Best wishes

Suzie

Hi thank you.

I did put a sar in to get what they hold on me. They sent bare minimum with lots missing out so I have added that to the complaint as apparently they can't find it now.

Had complaint response from 1 half from the organisation that did the risk assessment report they aren't willing to change it.

That is the only reason they are reopening. I got a letter to say case was closed and advised me to seek legal advice for getting child contact as mum wasn't promoting it but on asking them what this meant I received a call to say they only closed it as mum said the kids couldn't see me so it didn't meet the threshold even though it was affecting other relationships too.

Been told if I go for contact they will re open it as they recommend supervised contact but have no recommendations for how I can reduce this or any information on moving forward
